How to create a prescription

This article covers how to create a prescription for a client in Pabau.

To use prescriptions, ensure they're turned on in your account. 

To learn how to do so, read our article on how to enable or disable prescriptions.

Additionally, you'll need to have your prescriber info added to your user.
In the left sidebar, go to Team > Staff Manager > your user > Personal Details.
Add it in the Prescription Info field.
