Medical Council Standards for Valid Medical Prescriptions

1. Generic & Brand Transparency

Registered practitioners are encouraged to state salt compositions alongside brand names and specify unambiguous dose timing (e.g. before/after food).

2. Complete Clinical Demographics

Recording patient age, weight (especially in pediatric patients), and baseline vitals (BP, pulse, SpO2) ensures patient safety and dosage validation by pharmacists.

3. Clear Follow-Up Plan

Prescriptions should articulate a definite review timeframe to avoid self-medication and ensure timely intervention if conditions deteriorate.
