What Is This Tool?
Prescriptions contain critical dosage information — the difference between 5mg and 50mg can be life-threatening. DoctorDocs' Medicine Dosage Extractor is purpose-built to pull medication names, dosages, frequencies, and duration from handwritten prescriptions into clear, structured text.
How It Works
The tool focuses specifically on the dosage block of prescriptions: it identifies each medication line and extracts the drug name, the numeric dosage with unit (mg, ml, IU), frequency shorthand (OD, BD, TDS, QID, SOS, PRN), route of administration (PO, IV, IM, SC), and duration where written.
Key Capabilities
Dosage-focused extraction
Purpose-built to isolate medication names, numeric dosages, units, frequencies, and routes from the prescription's medication block.
Medical shorthand awareness
Recognises standard prescription abbreviations — OD (once daily), BD (twice), TDS (three times), QID (four times), SOS (as needed), PRN, HS (at bedtime).
Multi-medication support
Processes prescriptions with multiple medications, extracting each as a separate structured entry.
High-risk value flagging
Dosage values with low OCR confidence are explicitly flagged, urging manual verification.
How to Use
Photograph the prescription
Take a well-lit, flat photo focusing on the medication section. Avoid shadows across the dosage numbers.
Upload and extract
Upload the photo. The AI model isolates the medication block and extracts each drug with its dosage and frequency.
Verify every dosage
Carefully compare each extracted dosage against the original handwriting. Pay special attention to numbers and decimal points.
Confirm with your pharmacist
Before acting on any extracted dosage, confirm it with a licensed pharmacist or your prescribing doctor.
Common Use Cases
- Pharmacy verificationPharmacists use it as a secondary check when dispensing from difficult handwritten prescriptions.
- Patient safetyPatients verify that the medication and dosage they received matches what was actually prescribed.
- Caregiver medication managementCaregivers managing complex multi-drug regimens for elderly patients can digitise and track dosage schedules.
- Medical billing & codingBilling staff extract drug names and dosages from paper prescriptions for insurance claim coding.
Accuracy & Limitations
Dosage extraction from handwriting is inherently high-risk. Numbers can be misread (5 vs 50, 1 vs 7), and similar drug names (Losartan vs Lisinopril) can be confused. You MUST verify every extracted dosage against the original prescription with your pharmacist before acting on it.
Privacy & Security
Prescription data is highly sensitive PHI. Core OCR runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly. Advanced extraction uses our zero-retention cloud pipeline — your prescription image is processed and immediately discarded.
Frequently Asked Questions
What dosage information can it extract?
The tool extracts drug names, dosage amounts (mg, ml, mcg), frequency (once daily, BID, TID, QID, PRN), route of administration (oral, IV, IM, topical), duration of treatment, refill information, and special instructions (take with food, avoid sunlight).
Who uses this tool professionally?
Pharmacists verify handwritten prescription dosages before dispensing. Nurses extract medication schedules from doctor orders for patient administration records. Home healthcare aides digitize prescription labels for medication management apps.
How accurate is it for dosage numbers?
Numeric dosage values on printed prescriptions achieve 95%+ accuracy. Handwritten dosages achieve 80-90% accuracy for clearly written numbers. We strongly recommend pharmacist verification of all extracted dosage data before clinical use.
Is prescription data kept private?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Prescription information containing patient names, drug names, and dosage details is never uploaded to any server.
