prescription pad

Doctor's order booklet

A prescription pad is a booklet of blank forms that licensed medical professionals use to write medication orders for patients.

Each sheet typically includes the prescriber's name, credentials, and DEA number, along with spaces for patient information and drug instructions.

Because prescription pads can be used to obtain controlled substances, they're kept secure and their theft is a serious matter: Someone broke into the clinic and stole a prescription pad.
