Computer generated prescription is not acceptable.

(a) True

I had been asked this question in class test.

This interesting question is from Controlled Release Medication in portion Controlled Release Medication of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

The explanation: It is essential that the prescription is legible i.e. clear enough to read by the patients and by the shopkeepers. Most prescriptions in General Practice are now computer generated. Recently this has been introduced for some prescriptions written in hospital i.e. those written together with an electronic discharge summary.
