Prescribing and allergy cross-checks
Yes — alongside a direct name match Qlynic knows three cross-reactive families (penicillins, sulfonamides and NSAIDs), so a patient recorded as allergic to sulfa is flagged when Bactrim is proposed; it is a flag, never a block, medications are coded against a drug vocabulary or kept honestly as free text, and electronic transmission to a pharmacy (PrescribeIT) is not available yet.

The allergy check
Nobody writes "sulfamethoxazole" on an allergy list; they write sulfa. So when Bactrim comes up a name check finds nothing — and it is caught anyway, because the check knows the family. Three cross-reactive families are implemented: penicillins, sulfonamides and NSAIDs. The check runs on the recorded allergy list and on direct medication-name matches. It is a flag on the suggestion, not a block: the prescriber decides, and a suggestion that is thrown away is logged. It is not a comprehensive interaction engine and does not replace prescriber judgment or pharmacy checks.
Coded, or honestly free text
Two characters and the drug lookup starts. Pick a match and the prescription carries a real concept identifier (RxNorm); two entries with the same code are the same medicine whatever the box says. Type something the vocabulary doesn't know and it stays free text and says so, rather than pretending to be coded.
Status from the date, refills counted
A finished course reads as finished when its end date has passed, whatever the stored status says. Anything ending within seven days is flagged for renewal, and a prescription on its last refill — or with none left — is its own number on the list.
What is not built yet
Prescription authoring is in the core. Electronic transmission to a pharmacy is not: PrescribeIT, e-prescription routing, refill request workflows, drug-interaction alerts and pharmacy-side record sync are all marked Soon, and there is no fax-out either.
