How to use these templates: print, copy, and what to bring where

How the template builder works, how the print layout behaves, what the plain-text copy is for, which sheets go together, and the rules every template follows.

Every template on this site is the same object seen three ways: a page you read on screen, a sheet that prints black on white at letter size, and a block of plain text you can paste anywhere. The template builder produces all three from one set of inputs.

The builder

Open any template page and the builder sits at the top, already set to that template. Two optional fields: a name, which prints in the header, and a start date, which fills the date column on sheets that have one (weekly sheets step seven days per row, daily sheets one). Nothing you type leaves your browser; there is no account and nothing is saved.

Two buttons. Print this template opens your browser's print dialog with a stylesheet that hides everything except the sheet, removes colour, and sets letter-size margins; choose A4 in the dialog if that is your paper, and turn off headers and footers in the browser's print options if you want a clean page. Saving as PDF from the same dialog gives you a file. Copy as plain text puts the whole sheet, including the sources and the footer, on your clipboard as text with tables drawn in pipes and tick boxes as brackets, for a notes app, an email to yourself or a message to a family member. If your browser blocks clipboard access, select the sheet and copy it by hand.

On the builder's own page you can pick any of the fourteen templates from a list, which is useful when you want to print several at once.

Which sheets go together

The rules every template follows

No template prints a dose. Where a sheet has a dose column, its heading says what goes in it: the dose as written by your prescriber. The builder cannot fill it, and an automated test fails the build if a template tries.

Where a sheet quotes a number, the number comes from a named source printed in the footer: a drug label on DailyMed with its set id, a federal agency page, a National Academies table or a trial with its PubMed id, checked on the date shown. If a figure changes, the sheet changes and the date moves.

Compounded drugs are described as the FDA describes them: not FDA approved, not checked by the agency for safety, effectiveness or quality before sale, and not interchangeable with brand products. Any sheet that touches storage, dosing or supply says that a compounded product follows its pharmacy's instructions rather than a brand label.

Nothing here is medical advice. The sheets organise information for a conversation with a prescriber or pharmacist; they do not replace one. Read the medical disclaimer once, and the glossary if a term on a sheet is unfamiliar.

Requests

If a sheet you need does not exist, or a column is missing from one that does, write to hello@formblends.com with the page URL. Templates are cheap to add; the hard part is finding out what people actually need on paper, and that is what the address is for.
