MULTIPLE ITEM PRESCRIPTION FORM
a. Commanders of Medical TX Facilities may authorize the use of locally
developed multiple prescription form on an interim basis until either an OD or DA form is
published. However, multiple prescription blanks provided by or preprinted by a
commercial company will not be used in Army MTFs.
b. The multiple item prescription form (AF Form 781) can be used to prescribe
more than one non-controlled medication. A prescriber should not use this form to write
for controlled medications because of the filing problems that the pharmacy would face
(See paragraph 3-17, page 3-25 of this subcourse) with the prescription. The
information required on the form (for both controlled and non-controlled medications) is
the same as the information required on DD Form 1289. A completed multiple item
prescription form (AF Form 781) is shown in figure 3-4.
