Signs worth a second look

Erasures or changed quantities, different handwriting on one line, a missing stamp or doctor details, or a very old date.

Verifying by code

Dawaaka prescriptions carry a code like RX-0000-0000. The pharmacist types it or scans the QR to see whether the doctor really issued it. Online verification starts with our pilot.

If something looks wrong

Do not dispense while in doubt. Use "Ask the prescriber" for a structured query, or call the clinic. The licensed pharmacist decides on dispensing.
