# How to add Prescriptions?
## The Prescription Master List acts as a centralized library of medications that doctors can select from when creating prescriptions for patients.
### š **Overview**
This article explains how doctors can manage **Prescriptions** within the system, including:
- Adding medications to the **Prescription Master List**
- Creating **Custom Prescriptions** as reusable sets (Option B)
These features are designed to streamline prescribing, ensure consistency, and save time during consultations.
### How It Works
1. Doctors access the **Prescription Master List**.
2. New medications can be added to the list when required.
3. Once added, medications become available for selection during prescription creation.
If a doctor frequently prescribes a specific medication that is not yet available in the system. Adding it to the Prescription Master List ensures it can be reused for future patients without re-entering details.

### **2. Custom Prescription ā Option B: PreāDefined Custom Prescriptions**
### Purpose
Custom Prescriptions allow doctors to create **preādefined medication sets** that can be reused. This is particularly useful for common conditions or treatment plans.
### What Is Option B?
Option B enables doctors to **preādefine custom prescriptions** as reusable templates, rather than creating prescriptions from scratch each time.
### Key Benefits
- Faster prescribing for recurring treatment plans
- Consistency across patient prescriptions
- Reduced risk of omissions or errors
### How It Works
1. Doctors create a **Custom Prescription** by selecting one or more medications.
2. The prescription is saved as a reusable set.
3. During future consultations, the doctor can select the custom prescription and apply it to the patient.
If a doctor treats multiple patients with the same condition requiring a standard combination of medications. By creating a custom prescription, the doctor can apply the entire set with a single action.
---
### **Summary**
- **Prescription Master List:** Used to manage and store individual medications.
- **Custom Prescriptions (Option B):** Used to save and reuse predefined medication sets.
Together, these features help doctors prescribe more efficiently, accurately, and consistently.
