Tap on a star icon next to a pharmacy's name to add it to your favorites.

- yellow star = patient profile favorite; tap on it and confirm the prompt to remove it from favorites

Search results
Once your list of search results appear in alphabetical order, you will see "pharmacy cards" detailing information about each pharmacy, including:
- Pharmacy name (bold)
- Address (if available)
- Phone (opens iPrescribe Connect feature, if you tap on it)
- Fax (if available)
- Tags ("filter chips"): Controlled Rx. Specialty, LTC, Mail Order, Open 24 Hours, Limited Delivery, User-Created Pharmacy

Tapping Select on a pharmacy card applies the default pharmacy to the patient's profile. If the patient already has the maximum of 5 pharmacies on their profile, the the oldest entry will be replaced with your latest pharmacy selection.
If prescription is pending, you will be prompted to:
- Set as default pharmacy only
- Set as default & apply to pending script
