Prescription Software for Doctors in Bangladesh

What should prescription software do for a doctor in Bangladesh?

Prescription software should turn a consultation into a legible, structured prescription in about a minute, keep each patient's history in one place, and let a patient or pharmacist see that the prescription is genuine. In Bangladesh it also has to fit chamber practice: several chambers, fee splits with the chamber owner, and power cuts mid-visit.

• Structured drugs, not free text: pick from 25,000+ Bangladeshi medicine brands with form, strength and generic name, so the pharmacist reads exactly what you meant.
• Doses a pharmacist can dispense against: the dose pattern (such as 1+0+1), food relation and duration print in English with 0–9 digits. You can optionally show the dose line to the patient in Bengali; drug names always stay in English.
• Diagnoses with ICD-10 codes, typed ahead as you write.
• A public authenticity link on every prescription, showing the BM&DC registration number you add to your profile, that a patient or pharmacist can open.
• Chamber-wise fees and settlement: each visit is tagged to its chamber and settled FULL, SPLIT or RENT, per Dhaka day or month.

Paper pad or Prescriply: what changes?

How can a pharmacist or patient check a Prescriply prescription is genuine?

Each prescription can be shared as a secure web link. Opening it shows the prescription, the issuing doctor's name and any BM&DC registration number they added to their profile, plus a "Reg. verified by Prescriply" badge once a Prescriply admin has reviewed that number. The badge is a manual review, not a live check against the BM&DC register.

How does Prescriply handle chamber income and settlement?

Every visit is tagged to the chamber where it happened and priced by visit type — new, follow-up or report — with free follow-ups inside the window you set. Each chamber then settles by its own model: FULL (you keep the fee), SPLIT (a fixed percentage) or RENT (a fixed monthly rent), closed per Dhaka day or month.

See how it works on the chamber income settlement software page.

Does Prescriply use AI?

Optionally. An AI scribe drafts a structured prescription from your dictation or pasted notes, and you review, edit and sign it; nothing is issued automatically. AI requests run on prepaid credits with no monthly AI fee. Drug-interaction alerts are not AI: they come from a curated clinical dataset matched by generic name.

The AI scribe and drug-safety alerts are on the prescription software features page.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Prescriply runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and you can install it as an app (a PWA) on Android and iOS. Your prescriptions and patients live in the cloud, so the chamber computer and your phone always show the same records.

What should I check before choosing prescription software?

Check six things before you commit: whether a pharmacist can read every drug line, whether a patient can confirm the prescription is genuine, whether fees are tracked per chamber, what still works when the power or internet drops, whether you can take your data with you, and where your records are stored.

1. Drug lines: brand, form, strength and generic name printed clearly, with every dose slot filled (1+0+1, never 1++1).
2. Authenticity: a way for a patient or pharmacist to see who issued the prescription and under which BM&DC registration number.
3. Chamber accounts: fees tagged per chamber, settled by the model your chamber actually uses: the full fee, a percentage split or a fixed rent.
4. Outages: what is saved on the device when the connection drops, and what needs the internet to finish.
5. Your data: a CSV export of your patients, visits, prescriptions and fees that you can open in a spreadsheet at any time.
6. Hosting: where the records live and who can see them. Prescriply runs in AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore, ap-southeast-1) with per-doctor data isolation.

Why it matters in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has just 0.722 physicians per 1,000 people (World Bank, 2023), seeing patients across 16,979 private healthcare institutions (BBS Survey of Private Healthcare Institutions, 2021), and the WHO estimates 1 in every 20 patients suffers preventable harm in health care, half of it medication-related (WHO, 2023), much of it from unclear paper prescriptions. A legible, structured prescription is one of the cheapest safety improvements a chamber can make.
