Tool

Medication chart maker

Copy the current instructions for one horse and one medicine. Add planned doses individually or for dates you specify, with space to record what was actually given. You can also make an instructions-only document.

This tool copies what you enter. It does not interpret prescriptions, choose doses or times, or calculate withdrawal dates.

Use a separate chart for each horse and medicine.

Copy the medicine name and any stated strength from the current instructions.

Copy the amount, unit, route, timing and additional instructions exactly as supplied. Keep the original and ask the prescriber about anything unclear.

Identify the prescribing vet and the prescription, dispensing label or other instructions used.

Optional. Copy the source date if known; do not replace it with today’s date.

Name the person preparing this copy.

Enter the date these instructions were copied. This is separate from the prescription date and planned doses.

Choose a dated chart only when you have explicit planned dates to enter. Instructions only creates no dose schedule.

Planned doses

Add planned doses individually, copy a row or add several dates together. Check every row against the prescribed instructions. This document can contain up to 100 planned doses.

    If you do not have a dated plan, use the blank medication record to keep the prescribed instructions and record what was actually given. Open blank medication record

    How the document is made

    1. The document includes the copied instructions, their source and the person and date associated with this copy.
    2. Planned rows come from the dates, times and amounts you enter. You can add rows individually, copy a row or repeat the same details across a date range. The tool does not read the prescription to choose doses, dates or times.
    3. Each planned row has separate blank spaces for its recorded outcome, actual administration and the person and time associated with the record.
    4. Instructions only prints the copied instructions and their source without a dose schedule.

    It does not interpret the prescription or choose times. To add several doses together, enter the dates, times and prescribed amount yourself, then check every resulting row. Leave times blank only where no exact time was supplied.

    Enter changing amounts in separate rows. Adding multiple doses repeats the same amount and instructions throughout the range you enter. For instructions without a dated plan, use Instructions only or the blank medication record. The tool does not decide when an as-needed medicine should be given.

    No. It means no outcome has been recorded. Keep any uncertainty visible rather than filling in an assumed administration.
