Prescription app for doctors
A prescription app for doctors in India fast enough for a short OPD visit
Vitels is clinic management software for Indian clinics with a keyboard-first prescription pad: a repeat prescription takes three steps, and a new one is drug search, frequency and duration without leaving the keyboard. It prints on your own letterhead in A4 or A5. It runs in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone, so there is nothing to install, and it has no licence fee.
What makes a prescription app fast enough for an Indian OPD?
Three things: the repeat visit, the keyboard and the doctor's own lists. Most OPD visits are follow-ups, so repeating the last prescription has to be one key. New prescriptions have to be written without reaching for the mouse. And the medicines a doctor writes every day should be one keystroke away as favourites and templates. Vitels's pad is built around those three; the full module is on e-prescription software.

Do I need to download an app to write prescriptions in Vitels?
No. Vitels runs in the browser at app.vitels.in. Sign in with your +91 mobile and an OTP on the clinic computer, a tablet or your phone. The layout fits each screen: the three-zone consultation screen on a computer, a collapsing side rail on smaller laptops and tablets, and a single column with tabs on a phone.
The keyboard shortcuts are for the clinic computer, where most prescriptions are written. On a tablet or phone the same pad works by touch.
How fast is it in practice?
A repeat visit is three interactions: Start, F4, Ctrl+Enter. A new three-drug prescription fits on the screen at 1366 × 768 without scrolling the page or any column, so nothing is hidden below the fold while you write. We have not yet timed the repeat visit with a doctor in a real OPD, so we do not quote a number of seconds.
Will the prescription meet the rules on what it must show?
The print carries the clinic letterhead and the doctor's registration number, which Vitels requires before printing. What else a prescription must contain, such as generic names, is the doctor's responsibility under the professional conduct rules; see generic name prescription rules. For a one-off paper pad, the free prescription pad maker prints a letterhead pad from the browser.

What the pad does not do
We would rather you find this out here than after you have moved your patients in.
- Drug interaction warnings, dose checks or diagnosis suggestions: none, by design.
- Sending the prescription to the patient on WhatsApp: not available.
- Digital signature on the prescription or teleconsultation: not available.
- A native app from an app store: Vitels runs in the browser.
