Medicine carton label being read closely

Batch number kahan hota hai? (Where is the batch number?)

Batch number aam tor par dabbe ke end flap (chhoti side) ya patti ke kinare par hota hai, expiry date ke saath. Is par B.No, Batch, ya Lot likha hota hai. Mfg (banane ki tareekh) aur Exp (expiry) bhi wahin hoti hain.

Yaad rakhein: dabbe aur patti dono par batch aur expiry aik jaisi honi chahiye. Agar alag hain to yeh khatre ki nishani hai. Mazeed: batch number aur expiry parhna.

Phone scanning the 2D code on a medicine box

Mehfooz Dawa kya hai? (What is Mehfooz Dawa?)

Mehfooz Dawa DRAP ki official app hai jo dawai ke dabbe par chhapa 2D code scan kar ke batati hai ke yeh pack DRAP ke record mein hai ya nahi. Yeh muft hai. Sirf official app store se download karein aur publisher DRAP hona chahiye.

Abhi har dawai par 2D code nahi hota, kyunke yeh system dheere dheere aa raha hai. Code na ho to batch check aur pack ki janch karein. Poori tafseel: Mehfooz Dawa aur Mehfooz Dawa check.

Licensed pharmacy interior with pharmacist at the counter

Dawai kahan se khareedein? (Where to buy safely)

Hamesha licensed pharmacy se dawai lein jahan pharmacist maujood ho aur raseed (receipt) mile. Social media, WhatsApp sellers ya sadak kinare stalls se dawai na lein, khas tor par injections, insulin aur mehngi dawaiyan.

Pharmacy ka drug sale licence deewar par laga hona chahiye. Licence check.
Insulin aur vaccines fridge se milni chahiye. Storage guide.
Hamesha raseed lein, us par pharmacy ka naam ho.
Online order karein to dabba milte hi check karein. Online khareedari.
