Pakistan launches DRAP medicine app to track drugs and prices
The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan has urged consumers to use its new mobile application to scan barcodes, confirm prices, and spot counterfeit products.
DRAP has urged the public to use the 'Mehfooz Dawa' app to check medicine prices and verify authenticity.
A 2D barcode track-and-trace system became operational on October 9 across Pakistan.
The system covers around 800 registered pharmaceutical companies and over 90,000 registered medicines.
The initiative aims to stop the sale of fake, expired, and overpriced drugs.
