DRAP runs several separate websites.

The e-services and eApp logins are for companies. DRAP's toll-free number is 0800-03727.

DRAP login: do you need one?

For checking a medicine, no. The portal's home page has a login form for registered users and a citizen login and registration option, which is for filing and following up complaints. The e-services and eApp logins belong to licensed companies and their staff. If a website asks you to "log in to DRAP" to verify a medicine, or asks for your bank details, close it.

For pharma companies: e-services, eApp and DRAP 2D barcode guidelines

Manufacturers and importers use eApp and the e-services portal for registration data, and DRAP required product data to be validated on eApp for integration with track and trace. The technical requirements for the barcode are summarised in DRAP track and trace and S.R.O. 963(I)/2026.

Staying safe from fake DRAP pages

Government services attract imitators. Use these rules:

  • Official DRAP addresses end in dra.gov.pk: dra.gov.pk, drugtrace.dra.gov.pk, e.dra.gov.pk, eapp.dra.gov.pk.
  • DRAP does not charge citizens to verify a medicine, file a complaint or report a shortage.
  • Nobody needs your bank card, OTP or CNIC photo to verify a medicine.
  • The official Android app is published by "National IT Board, Government Of Pakistan".
  • Sites like this one, which explain DRAP's services, should say clearly that they are not DRAP. Ours does on every page.

Notices and how to follow them

DRAP publishes regulatory updates, recall and rapid alerts, guidelines and circulars on dra.gov.pk. Many are scanned PDFs, which makes them hard to search. For medicine safety, our recall page turns the alerts into a searchable list by product and batch. For the barcode rule, our track and trace explainer summarises the circular and the technical guidelines.

Offline routes

Not everyone can use online forms. You can call DRAP's toll-free number, 0800-03727, write to or visit the head office at the Prime Minister's National Health Complex, Park Road, Islamabad, or go to a DRAP field office in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar or Quetta. For a problem with a local pharmacy, the provincial drug control department and its district drug inspector are often the quickest local contact. Take the pack and receipt with you.
