How to Make a Prescription Online for Free: Step-by-Step (2026)

You do not need to buy software or install anything to make a professional prescription. With a free online prescription maker you can set up your header, write the medicines, and print or share a clean prescription in a few minutes, from a laptop or even your phone. This guide walks through it step by step using the free ChamberBD prescription generator, and points out the small mistakes that make a prescription look unprofessional.

What you need before you start

Have these ready so you only set them once:

• Your name and qualifications as they should appear (for example, Dr. Rahima Akter, MBBS, FCPS).
• Your BMDC registration number.
• Chamber name, address and visiting hours.
• Your logo or chamber image, if you want one on the header (optional).

You do not need a patient list or any sign-up. The tool opens ready to use.

Step 1: Open the free prescription maker

Go to the ChamberBD prescription generator. It loads in your browser with a blank prescription preview on one side and the controls on the other. Nothing is saved to a server, so you can try it freely. If you would rather work in Bangla, switch the language from the top of the page and every label follows.

Step 2: Set up your header

Enter your name, degrees and BMDC number, then the chamber name, address and hours. Upload a logo if you have one; you can crop it so it sits neatly. Pick header and footer colours, or choose one of the ready templates. This is the part you set once. The tool autosaves your draft in the browser every few seconds, so your header is waiting for you next time on the same device.

Step 3: Add the patient details

Fill in the patient's name, age and sex, and the date. Add a serial or ID number if your chamber uses one. Keeping age and sex on every prescription is not just neat; the correct dose for many drugs depends on them, and a pharmacist may check.

Step 4: Write the medicines (Classic mode)

In Classic mode you add medicines in a structured list. Start typing a brand and the autocomplete suggests the exact drug with its strength and generic name, so two letters of “Na” bring up Napa. For each medicine, set the dose, the timing and how many days to continue. Write the drug name in English and the advice in Bangla if that is what your patients read best, for example “খাবারের পর, দিনে ৩ বার, ৭ দিন”. Add any tests, advice and the next follow-up date below.

Step 5: Or write freehand (Canvas mode)

If you prefer to write the way you do on a paper pad, switch to Canvas mode. You get a blank prescription sheet with your printed header, and you write on it freehand with a mouse, a finger or a stylus. This suits doctors who want their own handwriting and signature but still want a clean, branded, shareable page.

Step 6: Print, save as PDF, or share a link

When the prescription looks right, you have three choices. Print it directly for the patient to carry to the pharmacy. Download it as a PDF or PNG image to send on WhatsApp. Or create a share link that opens on any phone and stays live for 7 days. Most chambers print; the PDF and link are useful for follow-ups and patients who call back.

Common mistakes to avoid

• No BMDC number. It should be on every prescription. Set it once in the header and it stays.
• Unclear timing. Write the dose, timing and number of days for each drug, not just the name.
• No follow-up date. A clear review date reduces confused return visits and repeat self-medication.
• Forgetting to keep a copy. The free tool does not store patient history; if you need a record of what you gave, save the PDF or use a free account.

Is the online prescription maker really free?

Yes. Writing, printing and PDF download are free with no sign-up, and the free tier does not expire. The only limits are that share links last 7 days and the tool does not remember past patients. A free ChamberBD account removes both at no cost and adds patient records and permanent, QR-verified links.

Can patients open the share link on a phone?

Yes. The share link opens in any mobile browser, so a patient or family member can view the prescription on their phone without installing anything. The free link stays live for 7 days; account links are permanent.

Will my prescription data be saved anywhere?

The generator runs fully in your browser. Your text and uploaded images stay on your device as a local draft and are not sent to any server, unless you click Share, which stores a single snapshot for the 7-day link. Nothing else leaves your device.

Can I make a prescription on my mobile?

Yes. The generator works on a phone or tablet browser. Canvas mode is especially handy on a tablet with a stylus, and you can print to a connected printer or share the PDF straight from your phone.

That is the whole process. Open the free prescription generator and make your first one now. When you are ready for saved patient history and permanent links, create a free account.

A prescription is a legal medical document. For real patients it should be issued only by a doctor registered with the BMDC. This guide is for registered and trainee doctors learning the tool.
