Medicine price check Pakistan: DRAP price list and registration search

How to check medicine price in Pakistan: reading a result

Medicine price check: three things this tool tells you

1. Whether you are being overchargedA retailer may not charge more than the maximum retail price printed on the pack. If the printed price itself is far above the price shown here for the same pack size, ask the pharmacist why, and check the pack's manufacturing date against the "effective from" date.
2. Whether the registration number is rightThe number printed on a genuine pack should match the record for that brand and company. A registration number that belongs to another product is a strong warning sign.
3. Which other brands existSearch by the generic name, such as paracetamol or ciprofloxacin, to see other registered brands and their prices. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before switching.

DRAP PharmaPrice Index: how medicine price in Pakistan is set

Medicine prices fall under the federal drug pricing policy, which DRAP administers. Every entry in DRAP's index is marked either "Essential Drugs" or "Low Price Drugs", the two groups whose prices the index publishes. For medicines outside the essential list, companies have had more freedom to set prices since 2024, which is one reason some products do not appear here. In every case the price printed on the pack is the ceiling at the counter.

Prices change over time, which is why the index shows an "effective from" date. A pack made before a price revision carries the older printed price, and a shop should sell it at that printed price, not at the new one.

Dawa ki qeemat kaise check kare: DRAP price list vs pharmacy price

Online pharmacies show their own selling prices, which may include discounts and may be out of date. This page shows the regulator's figure. If you are comparing medicine prices between pharmacies, the official maximum is the number none of them should exceed. A price well below it is not always good news: very cheap branded medicine is a common sign of fake or expired stock, so scan the pack.

What this search cannot tell you

• It does not confirm that the box in your hand is genuine. Only the serial number in the square code can do that; use the scanner.
• It is not a complete register of every medicine. A missing product is a reason to look closer, not proof of a fake.
• It is a copy taken on 11 November 2026. Prices revised after that date will show the older figure until we refresh it.

Questions people ask

Is this a medicine price checker and price list?

Yes. It works as a medicine price checker over DRAP's published medicine price list, the PharmaPrice Index. Search a brand or generic name to see each pack size and price, which also allows a simple medicine price comparison between brands.

اوپر خانے میں دوا کا نام لکھیں۔ ڈریپ کی فہرست کے مطابق ہر پیک کی قیمت، رجسٹریشن نمبر اور کمپنی کا نام نظر آئے گا۔

How do I check a medicine price in Pakistan?

Type the brand name into the search box on this page. You will see the maximum retail price recorded in DRAP's PharmaPrice Index for each pack size, along with the registration number and the company that holds the registration. Compare it with the price printed on your pack.

Dawa ki qeemat kaise check kare?

Is page ke search box mein dawa ka naam likhein. Har pack size ki sarkari qeemat (MRP), registration number aur company ka naam nazar aayega. Dukandar is se zyada qeemat nahin le sakta jo dabbay par chhapi ho.

What is the DRAP PharmaPrice Index?

It is DRAP's public listing of pharmaceutical product prices, published at e.dra.gov.pk/public/price. Each entry shows the product, its registration number, the registration holder, a category such as essential drugs, the pack size, the price and the date that price took effect.

Why is the price on my pack different from the price shown here?

Three common reasons: your pack is a different size or strength, your pack was made before the latest price change (check the "effective from" date), or the product is one whose price the company may set itself. If a shop charges more than what is printed on the pack, that is overcharging.

Can I use this as a DRAP registration number check?

Yes. Search by brand name to see its registration number, or type a registration number to see which product it belongs to. If the number on your pack belongs to a different product or company, be suspicious.

Why can't I find my medicine?

The index does not list every registered product, and spelling matters. Try a shorter part of the name or the generic name. A product missing from this list is not proof of a problem, but check the pack carefully and ask your pharmacist.

Is this the full list of DRAP registered medicines?

No. It is DRAP's published price index, which lists products in its Essential Drugs and Low Price Drugs categories. Many other registered medicines are not in it. DRAP keeps the complete registration records.
