Many clinics in Pakistan still write prescriptions by hand. It's slow, pharmacists struggle to read it, and when the paper is lost, so is the patient's history. Doctor prescription software gives you a clear printed prescription in under a minute and saves every visit, so the full history is one click away next time.

How it works

During the consultation you:

  1. open the patient's record (or add a new one)
  2. enter vitals like weight and blood pressure
  3. write the diagnosis and pick medicines from a list
  4. choose dose, frequency and duration
  5. print a clean prescription with your clinic's header

Every prescription is saved, so each patient's history builds up automatically.

Why handwritten prescriptions cause problems

  • Hard to read: a misread word can mean the wrong medicine or dose.
  • No history: after six months you rely on the patient's memory or a lost paper, and miss allergies or medicines that didn't work.
  • Repeated work: you write the same medicines dozens of times a day.

6 features to look for

  1. A saved medicine list with your usual doses
  2. One-click dose, frequency and duration ("1 tablet, twice a day, 5 days")
  3. Instructions in Urdu that patients can follow
  4. Full patient history before each new prescription
  5. Automatic calculations, such as BSA from height and weight
  6. Follow-up reminders, so fewer patients miss their next visit

Is patient data safe?

Ask any software company: Who can see the records (only your logged-in staff)? Is data backed up? Can you export it if you change software? Is it ever shared? At Arsasoft your records belong to you, and we never sell or share patient data. See our privacy policy.

Cost

Options range from limited free tools to expensive hospital systems. For a single doctor or small clinic, a monthly plan is simplest. Our Doctor Prescription software costs RS 1,400 a month (or RS 16,800 a year) with unlimited patients and records.

Start without slowing down

  • Week 1: add your most-used medicines and instructions (an hour or two), and enter only new patients.
  • Week 2 onward: add returning patients as they visit. Within a month, most regulars are in the system.

You don't need to type in old files. The history builds itself, visit by visit.
