Kareo Clinical enables medical professionals to write prescriptions for drugs, durable medical equipment (DME), or supplies that can be printed for the patient or sent electronically to the pharmacy. When a drug is not listed in Kareo's comprehensive drug database, create a custom drug to prescribe via paper as a one time prescription. Or, create a drug favorite for the custom drug to prescribe often when adding medications to a patient's chart or initiating a prescription.
