Prescribing controlled substances (Class A Narcotics, sedatives, etc.) carries heavy legal and ethical weight in Bangladesh. With the rise of telemedicine, the lines have blurred, but the risks for doctors have increased. The regulatory bodies are clear: certain meds should not be prescribed without a physical examination.

Doctors Canvas is your Compliance Bodyguard.

Our system is "Compliance by Design," specifically aware of the local drug classifications.

  • Telemedicine Lock: If you are in "Video/Chat Consultation" mode, the system automatically "Red Flags" specific narcotics. It will warn you or restrict the ability to add them, prompting you to require an in-person visit.
  • Traceability: Every prescribed narcotic is logged with a timestamp and consultation mode, creating a solid audit trail if you ever need to defend your clinical decision.
  • BMDC Alignment: We stay updated with the latest medical council guidelines so you don't have to worry about accidentally violating a new protocol.

Practice with peace of mind. Let our intelligent system handle the regulatory checks while you focus on the patient's recovery.
