Note: Custom drugs will not be checked against Kareo's database for potential drug-allergy interactions (DAI) and drug-drug interactions (DDI), or for outcomes reporting.

  2. Click to select the patient from the auto-populated results. The patient's chart  / Face Sheet opens.
  3. Click Medications in the left menu. The Active Medications page opens.
