DoseSpot eRx Patient Medications

Medications added in DoseSpot are synced to Open Dental.

In the DoseSpot eRx / Prescription interface, on the Patient Landing Page, is the Patient Medications area.

Prescriptions added from DoseSpot and self-reported medications can be viewed in this area.

We recommend adding medications through DoseSpot to be considered for interactions (i.e., drug-drug or drug-allergy). Medications added to DoseSpot are automatically listed in Open Dental.
