[www.keralites.net] Finally, a cure for your doctor's handwriting - new guidelines, doctors must write prescriptions legibly and in capital letters

 

Finally, a cure for your doctor's handwriting :- The new format, issued by Medical Council of India (MCI), is for all doctors who practice allopathy in the country.    As per the new guidelines, doctors must write prescriptions legibly and in capital letters as well as furnish a complete and detailed prescription to ensure that there is no chance of wrong treatment leading to death. Also, doctors have to mention the patient's address and keep blank space in which the pharmacist can write his address.

 

The comprehensive format includes the doctor's full name, his/her qualification, patient's details, name of the generic medicine or its equivalent along with the dosage, strength, dosage form and instruction, name and address of medical store with pharmacist's name and date of dispensing, as well as the doctor's signature and stamp.

 

Doctors from Maharashtra will soon be able to see the new format on the website of Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC). From April onwards, MMC-affiliated doctors are expected to start using the new format.
