	Medical prescription - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A medical prescription (℞) is an order (often in written form) by a qualified health care professional to a pharmacist or other therapist for a treatment to be provided to their patient.
		Prescriptions are typically handwritten on preprinted prescription forms that are assembled into pads, or alternatively printed onto similar forms using a computer printer.

		Dosanjh's portrayal of the secondary medical review as "unprofessional" and "unethical" demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the true clinical benefit that the Canadian physician brings to the continuum of care.

		To suggest that a Canadian Pharmacy cannot accept a prescription from a licensed US physician is to undermine the qualifications of a US primary care Physician.

	Wisconsin Medical Society - Importation of Prescription Drugs from Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For example, a person may decide that his or her FDA approved heart medication is cheaper in Mexico, and attempt to import the unapproved version of the drug from Mexico.
		However, many drugs sold in foreign countries as "foreign versions" of approved prescription drugs sold in the United States are often of unknown quality with inadequate directions for use and may pose a risk to the patient's health.
		Since FDA cannot assure the consumer that the drug purchased in the foreign country would be the same product his or her physician's prescription is written for, we recommend the product covered by the prescription be acquired in the United States.

	Abbreviations, prescription definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Abbreviations, prescription: A prescription, as is well known, is a physician's order for the preparation and administration of a drug or device for a patient.
		It is one of a number of hallowed abbreviations of Latin terms that have been traditionally used in prescriptions to specify the frequency with which medicines should be taken.
		The word "prescription" also comes from the Latin "praescriptus" and is made up of "prae," before + "scribere," to write, so that prescription meant "to write before." This reflected the historic fact that a prescription had traditionally to be written before a drug could be prepared and then administered to a patient.
