Inactivating a Prescription in British Columbia

When a prescription is inactivated in a British Columbia pharmacy, it is inactivated on the LOCAL system without transmitting to PharmaNet. The Active flag is removed from the profile and all remaining refills are retained. If this is a non-retail prescription, the group Rx status will change to an inactive status.

1. Open the patient’s profile.
2. Press the Active flag for the prescription.
3. The Inactivate Rx prompt appears, with the Inactivate Rx option pre-selected. Press the OK button.
4. The Discontinued Prescription window appears. Enter notes in the Prescription Note box
5. Make a selection from the Discontinued By dropdown list.
6. Press the OK button.
7. The screen returns to the profile and the Active flag is deselected for the prescription. Press the Save or OK button. (The available button depends on the how you accessed the profile).

Note: NOTHING IS TRANSMITTED TO PHARMANET.
