... the user engages in a telemedicine session with a healthcare provider ... When the user and the healthcare provider complete the telemedicine session, the healthcare provider can prescribe necessary medicine to the mobile application user.

Instead, the healthcare provider transmits ... the prescription in electronic form either to the user's mobile application, or to the pharmacy of the user's choice. If the healthcare provider transmits the electronic prescription to the user's mobile application, then the user can then store the electronic prescription on his mobile device ... in the mobile application until he is ready to get the prescription filled. The user then uses the mobile application to send the electronic prescription to the pharmacy ... The pharmacy then fills the prescription as normal. 1, record 1, English, - electronic%20prescription

La producción ilícita de anfetaminas y otras drogas sintéticas y la elaboración de drogas como la cocaína y la heroína requieren diversas sustancias precursoras. Por ejemplo, la metanfetamina se produce ilícitamente con la efedrina o la pseudoefedrina como materia prima. Pero estas sustancias también tienen usos lícitos: la efedrina es un ingrediente de muchos antitusivos y la pseudoefedrina puede sacarse fácilmente de descongestionantes nasales que se venden sin receta. 4, record 4, Spanish, - pseudoefedrina
