Prescriptions & templates

Add prescriptions in a tap, reuse your common combinations, and print a clean Rx.

Most doctors prescribe the same handful of combinations every week. Nimo lets you save those as templates and apply them in a single tap — then hand the patient a clean, printed prescription.

Adding prescriptions

On a visit, open the Prescriptions panel and add medicines. You can:

  • Pick from your medicine catalog (tuned to your system of medicine), or
  • Type a custom medicine if it isn't in the catalog.

For each line, set the dose, frequency, and duration. The more you prescribe a medicine, the higher Nimo floats it in your picker — your common drugs rise to the top on their own.

Templates

A template is a saved bundle of medicines — "URTI starter", "Hypertension follow-up", and so on. Apply one and every medicine drops into the Rx pad at once, still fully editable.

Templates come in three flavours:

  • Private — only you see them. This is the default for ones you create.
  • Shared — visible to everyone in the practice, for clinic-wide standards.
  • System — a curated starter set Nimo ships for your system of medicine.

Manage your templates from Clinic settings → Templates. Found a useful one in a library? Copy it to your own — your copy stays yours even if anything changes later.

Templates are matched to your practice's system of medicine, so an allopathy clinic never sees homeopathy templates, and vice versa. (Treatment-plan practices like physiotherapy and psychology don't use prescription templates.)

Nimo suggests templates

After a recorded visit, Nimo checks whether one of your templates fits what was discussed. If it finds a strong match, it offers it for you to accept or dismiss. If nothing matches, you'll see a brief "Nimo checked — no matching template" note that quietly fades — no clutter. Nimo only ever suggests from your existing templates; it never invents a medicine.

Printing the Rx

From the Prescriptions panel, tap Print to open a clean, A4 prescription with your practice letterhead, the patient's details, and the numbered medicine list — ready to sign and hand over. The print page strips away all the app's buttons so only the prescription comes out.

The ℞ symbol appears for systems that use it (allopathy, dental, homeopathy) and is omitted for ayurveda, unani, and siddha.
