Prescriptions & Rx Templates
Dentospire's prescription module lets a dentist write an Rx from the clinic's own templates or an earlier prescription, checks it against the patient's recorded allergies and medicines, and prints it in English or an Indian language.
The problem in a real clinic
A handwritten slip is quick until the chemist cannot read it or the patient loses it. And on a busy day it is easy to write amoxicillin for the patient whose file says penicillin allergy, because the file is in the other room.
How it works
- Start a new prescription from Prescriptions or from the patient's record.
- Pick one of your prescription templates for the procedure, or add medicines from your clinic's medicine list with dose, timing and duration.
- Before it saves, Dentospire checks the medicines against the allergies, medical conditions and current medicines recorded for that patient and shows any alert.
- Save it under the treating doctor. For a follow-up, press Repeat on an earlier prescription to copy its medicines into a new draft.
- Print it in English or the patient's language, such as Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu or Bengali, starting from the clinic's default document language.
What you see on screen
- An alert panel for drug interactions and allergy matches, with critical alerts set apart from the rest.
- The patient's earlier prescriptions, each with Print and Repeat.
- Your templates, kept under Settings → Templates, and your medicine list under Settings → Medicines.
What the patient gets
- A printed prescription in the language you chose, with the timing instructions in that language too.
- Their prescriptions listed in the patient portal.
- A copy on WhatsApp when the clinic has WhatsApp messaging switched on, for clinics in India.
Safety and control
- A critical allergy or interaction alert stops the prescription until a doctor overrides it with a written reason, and the reason is kept in the prescription audit log.
- If the patient's allergy details cannot be read, Dentospire treats that as a possible allergy, not as no allergy.
- The prescriber printed on the Rx is always a doctor or admin of your clinic, never a receptionist.
- Repeat copies medicines into a new draft; the earlier prescription stays exactly as it was.
Good to know
- Alerts depend on the patient's history being recorded; an allergy nobody entered cannot be flagged.
- Sending prescriptions on WhatsApp works for clinics in India only. Elsewhere, print the prescription or hand over the PDF.
- The templates and medicine list are your clinic's own, so it is worth checking them once when you start.
Frequently asked questions
Does Dentospire warn me before I prescribe a drug the patient is allergic to?
Yes, when the allergy is recorded on the patient's file. The medicines are checked against recorded allergies, conditions and current medicines before saving. A critical match stops the prescription until a doctor overrides it with a written reason, which is kept in the audit log.
Can I print a dental prescription in Hindi or Marathi?
Yes. The print screen lets you choose English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese or Urdu, and it starts from the clinic's default document language, the same one used for consent forms.
Can I repeat a patient's previous prescription in Dentospire?
Yes. Press Repeat on any earlier prescription and its medicines are copied into a new draft you can change before saving. In Fast Mode, the patient's last prescription is offered with one button on the prescription step.
Who can be named as the prescribing doctor on a Dentospire prescription?
Only a doctor or admin of your clinic. When an assistant prepares the prescription, Dentospire still prints a clinician as the prescriber, and a prescriber picked from another clinic is refused.
