Create multiple, consecutive prescriptions at the same time using the Additional Scripts link in the sig builder. After entering sig instructions and dispense information, you can add additional prescriptions for the same medication with future effective dates and transmit them to the patient's pharmacy all at once. This is useful if the prescription is for a controlled substance and does not permit refills, or if the patient wants to pick up a 30-day supply from their retail pharmacy immediately, but intends to have their 90-day supply from their mail order pharmacy afterwards.
