# How to fill prescriptions for walk-in Patients

If you have an in-house Pharmacy, you will have both walk-in patients with prescriptions from external Practitioner, as well as in-house prescriptions from Practitioners belonging to your Clinic. Clinicea’s sophisticated Pharmacy module allows you to do handle both internal and external prescriptions with ease.  

_For example, Let us assume, an External Patient walks into your Pharmacy and provides you with a paper-based prescription. The Patient has been prescribed with Cetirizine 1 case only and Amprez 5mg 1 tablet a day, for 15 days. You check for stock availability, both medications are in stock. You now need to dispense the medications._  

Let us have a look at how to fill in the Prescription for an External Patient in Pharmacy:

**1**. Go to **Pharmacy** | click on **New Prescription.**

**2**. A **New Pharmacy Bill** window will open | **Select Patient**– since the Patient is an external one, you will need to add the Patient Details to your Clinicea account. Type in the Patient name in the **Search bar** and click on **Search**. If the Patient is not already in the system, Clinicea will prompt you to add a New Patient, click on **OK.**
