Messages you may encounter while issuing repeat scripts...

You may encounter one of these messages when trying a print a repeat prescription:

This is the last issue for [drugname, form, strength]. If you wish to prescribe further issues you will need to reauthorise.

This message displays when you print the last number of maximum issues allowed, for example, if the patient is allowed six repeats (the figure in Max Iss), you will see this message when you make the sixth issue. The item then becomes an expired repeat with the symbol and needs reauthorising.

[drug name] cannot be issued because: 1. The maximum number of issues allowed have already been issued. No issues will be made. The last permitted issue of this repeat has already been made so you must reauthorise before you issue it again. See Reauthorise Repeat Master.
