Verify Medicine Online: Drug Trace Check
Three different checks, three different answers. Pick the one that matches your question:
- 1
Does it look like the original?
Use Originality Reference. Enter the medicine name to see the manufacturer's official description of the genuine tablets, plus any international recalls for your lot number.
- 2
Is this batch under an official alert?
Use Fake & Batch Alert Check. Find the batch number printed near “B.No” on the pack — usually on a crimped end of a tube, the foil of a blister, or the side of the box — and we will match it against imported DRAP alert notices.
- 3
Is this exact pack genuine?
Scan the 2D DataMatrix/QR code with the scanner in the panel. Pack-level originality is confirmed by the official DRAP track-and-trace system; until DrugTrace.pk is granted authorized API access, we tell you so honestly and link you straight to the official portal.
Scan Medicine QR or Barcode
Use your mobile or laptop camera to scan the code on the medicine pack.

What each check can and cannot tell you
| Check | Can tell you | Cannot tell you |
|---|---|---|
| Batch alert | Whether DRAP has declared this batch spurious, substandard or recalled | Whether an untested batch is genuine |
| Originality reference | What the genuine product officially looks like; international recalls | Whether Pakistan-specific packs differ |
| 2D code scan | The batch, expiry and serial in the code, and whether they match the print | Whether the serial was copied (only DRAP's portal can) |
| Registration lookup | Whether the product is authorised in Pakistan | Whether your individual pack is genuine |
Frequently asked questions
Short, direct answers. Follow the links for the full guides.
How do I verify a medicine online in Pakistan?
Enter the batch number in the Fake & Batch Alert Check, compare the product with its official description, scan any 2D code and, for serialised packs, confirm the serial on drugtrace.dra.gov.pk. See the complete guide.
What does 'No matching record found' mean?
No DRAP alert in our dataset matches that batch. It's reassuring but not proof the medicine is genuine. Also inspect the pack with the checklist.
What should I do if my batch matches an alert?
Stop using it, keep the pack and receipt, and return it to the pharmacy or report it to DRAP on 0800-03727.
Where do I find the batch number?
Look for B.No, Batch or Lot near the expiry date on the carton end flap or blister edge. See reading batch numbers and expiry.
