Pair Medications
Pair medications and pharmacies to protocols with preset directions.
The Formulary connects real medications and pharmacies to your protocols, so prescriptions start from the right defaults, not manual re-entry. Who can do this: Admins — see Roles & Permissions.
Open FormularyWhen Formulary appears
Formulary appears once OnlyScripts pharmacy options are available to your network — see Enable Integrations. Search medications, review pharmacies, set display overrides, and pair medications to protocols.
What you manage
| Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Medication search | Find active medications and the pharmacy options your integration offers. |
| Product pairings | Connect a medication and pharmacy choice to a catalog protocol. |
| Preset directions | Save common dosing directions and days supply for provider review. |
| Overrides | Standardize display names or details where labels need clarification. |
Pair a medication to a protocol
Find the medication
Filter or search by name to find the right medication and pharmacy option.
Choose the protocol
Pair it to the right active protocol in your catalog.
Set preset directions
Add directions and days supply when you use standardized defaults — providers still review them on every prescription.
Review client impact
Confirm linked clients on the protocol get the intended product and pharmacy behavior.
Prices, shipping, and totals come from the pharmacy integration and are not edited here.
Preset directions save time, but the prescriber always confirms medication, dosage, and instructions at send time — see Send Prescriptions.
Common questions
A medication isn't showing up in search — why?
Search covers the active medications and pharmacy options in your network's integration. If something is missing, confirm your OnlyScripts credentials and integration status — see Enable Integrations.
Which protocols can I pair to?
Active protocols in your network's catalog. If it doesn't exist yet, create it first — see Create Protocols.
