Comparison
Which Is the Best Prescription Software in Bangladesh?
There is other prescription software in Bangladesh, and some of it is good. The differences come down to three things: where the software runs, who holds the patient records, and whether you pay once or every month.
The chamber runs when the line drops
With cloud software, the connection going means the prescription going with it. Nirnoy Rx is on your machine, so it does not stop.
The records stay in your hands
Whose server, in which country, and what happens if they shut down: the questions do not arise.
Once, and then never again
৳1,000 a month is ৳60,000 over five years. Buying once costs a good deal less than that.
Writing the prescription
Fast, and the Way You Work
Every way of writing works on the same pad, and you can mix them in one visit: type, pick, say it, put in a whole plan, or carry the last visit forward.
Your own lines come first
Type a few letters in any box and the lines you write most come first, then a starting list. Enter takes one; short forms like HTN or DM find the line too.
A whole medicine in one line
Pick a brand and the line arrives with your usual dose, timing and days. Or write it all at once (“napa 1+0+1 5d”) or say it, and tap what you meant.
A whole plan in one press
Your own templates and the national guidelines’ plans; the ones that fit the diagnosis appear right above the medicines. On a prescription already written, you choose: replace all of it, or only the plan’s parts.
The last visit, carried forward
A patient seen in the last three months opens as a follow-up, with the last prescription already on the pad to change; Repeat last copies it in one press.
Say it instead of typing
Dictate in Bangla or English beside any box. What is heard is matched against that box’s own list and offered for you to tap, and nothing is written until you choose. (With a licence.)
An AI scribe, if you want one
With the patient’s agreement it listens to the consultation and drafts the record box by box; you check every box before it goes in, and it never puts a medicine on the prescription.
Change it on the sheet itself
The preview is the page that prints, and it can be edited there: a line crossed off, a section added, the next visit set, tests ticked. Print sends it to your printer at once, on your own printed pad if you use one.
Hands stay on the keyboard
The cursor moves on as each vital is complete, Enter goes to the next box, Ctrl+S saves and Ctrl+P previews; Next patient keeps this pad and opens the next one in the queue.
Checked while you write
An allergy, an interaction, a dose above the usual maximum, a medicine written twice: shown before you sign. It reports, and never blocks.
AI scribe
Your Consultation, Written into the Prescription: You Only Check It
No typing while you see the patient. With the patient’s agreement, Nirnoy Rx’s AI scribe listens to the whole conversation between doctor and patient (in Bangla, English or both) and drafts every box of the prescription. You talk to the patient, not the keyboard; at the end you check each box, tick it, and print.
- With the patient’s agreement, press “Listen to the consultation”: the computer’s microphone, or your phone if it has none.
- Talk as you always do: Bangla, English or both. It hears the patient too.
- Stop, read what was heard and correct it if you like; see the price, then ask for the draft.
- Complaints, history, examination, diagnosis, tests, advice and follow-up, each box on its own, added when you tick it. BP, pulse and temperature go to their own boxes.
- Each medicine said goes on in one tap with its dose and days; a misheard name offers the register’s nearest names to pick. If no medicine was said, it suggests a treatment that allows for the patient’s allergies, current medicines, long-term illnesses, vaccines and family history. Nothing goes on until you approve it.
- A number heard unclearly, or said in words, is never written in by itself; it is held back for you.
- A moment without the internet loses nothing: it tries again, and marks the part with “Try again” if it must.
- No recording and no transcript is kept; the patient’s name never goes to the AI; the consent is logged with the visit.
- One press of Undo takes back everything the scribe added.

What None of the Others Say They Do
These are the running software. Try each one in the demo yourself.
Warnings from the patient’s reports
Metformin for a patient with a poor kidney report is flagged in red as you write, with the report’s date.
A child on the WHO curves
Every visit’s weight, height and head circumference charted, and which EPI doses are due.
Disease registers
Which diabetic is due an HbA1c, whose BP was high, who has not been back for three months.
Before and after
With consent, two visits side by side; none of it appears unless you switch it on.

The Prescription Is Inside the Code, and the Code Is Signed
A prescription altered after it was written, or printed in a doctor’s name by somebody else, is not a new problem here. What software can honestly do about it is the subject of this section.
One · it prints
As the sheet prints, a QR code goes at its foot. Inside it are the medicines, the doses, the days, the timings: the prescription itself. Not a link, not a record number.
Two · it signs
Your practice holds a key of its own. The private half lives inside the encrypted file on your computer and never leaves it; every code is signed with it. The public half registers itself with us on the ordinary licence check-in.
Three · the phone checks
When a patient scans it, the page fetches the published list of public keys and checks the signature in the browser. “Checked”, or “the signature does not match”. The prescription is sent nowhere; we never learn what anybody takes.
What it stops
- A medicine or a few extra days added to the sheet by hand afterwards: it is not on the phone, and holding the two side by side shows it.
- A code somebody else makes in your name: the key does not match, and the page says so in as many words.
- An old prescription re-dated to look new: the date is inside the signature too.
What it does not stop
- A sheet printed with no code at all. This can say “this sheet checks out”; it cannot make every sheet checkable.
- One genuine prescription filled at four shops. Stopping that needs a dispensing record at the counter, which is a different product.
- Nothing at all, if nobody at the counter looks. That is why the line under the square says, in Bangla, what to do with it.
Why we say “a first”: on 27 September 2026 we read the pages of every prescription system we could find selling in Bangladesh. None of the four in the table above mentions prescription verification. One (Prescriply) says “a scannable QR + verify URL — so a pharmacy can confirm it is genuine”, but that is a link to a record in their own cloud; the prescription is not in the code, and no signature is mentioned. If we have this wrong, tell us and we will correct the page. prescriply.bd/features.
Plainly
What Nirnoy Rx Is Not
Knowing what it will not do is worth more before you buy than after.
- It is not a hospital or clinic management system: no beds, no inventory, no departmental rosters.
- Your data is not on our servers, so if you lose both the machine and the recovery passphrase, we cannot bring it back.
- The AI features need a connection, and either your own API key or purchased credits.
- Lab report OCR reads a report into the visit, on your own computer, free; it does not interpret it.
