Abstract
Abstract A composite prescription form comprising five individual form parts which are detachably secured together at their upper ends in a superposed relationship with respect to each other. The prescription form contains a plurality of preprinted information and the pharmacist types the form upon receiving a new prescription. The form is then separated with one portion of the first or top part being used as a prescription label and the other portion of the first part being filed for daily computation and record. The second part of the form is a sack label with the third part of the form being the prescription itself. The fourth part of the form is identical to the third part and provides a copy of the original prescription. The fifth part of the form is a three-line part which is separable from the form so that it may be secured to a permanent patient prescription ledger card. A modification of the form is also disclosed and is designed for use as a refill prescription form. The modification utilizes three parts which are substantially identical to parts 1, 2 and 5 of the first described forms, respectively.
