# Medicine Library

> Build and maintain your clinic's drug catalog — add medicines individually or import from CSV — so doctors can prescribe quickly with consistent names and dosages.

The Medicine Library is your clinic's custom drug catalog. When a doctor creates a prescription, they search this library to add medications — ensuring consistent drug names, standard dosages, and faster prescription entry.

<Note>
  **Admins and Doctors** can access the Medicine Library.

## Adding a medicine

1. Open **Settings > Medicine Library**.
2. Click **Add Medicine**.
3. Fill in the details:

| Field                    | Description                                |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Name**                 | Generic or brand name of the drug          |
| **Strength**             | Dose (e.g. 500 mg, 10 mg/5 ml)             |
| **Form**                 | Tablet, capsule, syrup, injection, etc.    |
| **Default instructions** | Pre-filled dosage directions for this drug |

4. Click **Save**.

The medicine is immediately available in the prescription wizard.

## Bulk import from CSV

For large catalogs, you can import medicines in bulk.

1. Click **Import CSV**.
2. Download the template CSV file and fill in your medicines.
3. Upload the completed CSV.
4. Review the import preview and confirm.

The CSV template columns match the individual add form: `name`, `strength`, `form`, `default_instructions`.

<Tip>
  Import your most-prescribed drugs first. The prescription search ranks recent prescriptions higher, so commonly used drugs surface faster over time.
</Tip>

## Editing and removing medicines

Select any medicine in the list to edit its details. Changes take effect immediately for new prescriptions — past prescriptions are not affected.

To remove a medicine, select it and click **Delete**. Deleted medicines no longer appear in the prescription search but remain visible on historical prescriptions for reference.
