A pharmacy may receive prescriptions electronically once they have been recorded into an electronic medical record system. A prescription can also be scrawled on preprinted prescription forms that have been combined into pads, printed using a computer printer onto comparable forms, or even printed on plain paper depending on the situation. A prescription may occasionally be communicated verbally over the phone by the doctor to the pharmacist. The content of a prescription comprises the prescriber's name, address, and any further regulatory requirements, including a registration number (e.g. DEA Number in the United States). The name of the patient is distinctive for each prescription.
