Setup Prescription Defaults?

Prescription Defaults are configured within Pharmacy Defaults, a core component of Pharmacy Settings. These defaults control how prescriptions are labeled, verified, processed, and automated throughout SiCompounding.

Important: Pharmacy Settings, including Prescription Defaults, must be completed before using any other area within SiCompounding to ensure correct workflows, compliance, and document generation.
