• When payments are made for the drugs dispensed, it is advisable that the fees for the dispensed drugs are collected and receipts issued before the drug is given to the patient.
• Every dispensary should have a receipt book in duplicate form.
• Every patient should be issued a receipt for drugs purchased (see Diagram 10 for example).
• Use carbon paper to produce a duplicate copy.
• Stamp the original receipt with “PAID” on receipt of cash payment for the dispensed drugs.
