The Medication Process – Simplified by ESC Software
ESC’s guidelines are based on industry standard regulations for Controlled and Banned Medications which may be familiar to you. Generally Allowed Medications, when used as directed, minimizes the need for a Medical Report Form. Generally Allowed meds include those for the treatment of Cushing’s and Navicular disease, 12 Hour NSAIDS, as well as mild sedatives for Clip & Ship purpose. ESC software streamlines the use of Medical Forms, provides searchable drug databases with allowed use guidelines, and protects the integrity of the drug testing process.
