PranaDrug is a clinical-grade AI medication intelligence engine that scans prescriptions, detects dangerous drug interactions, validates dosages, checks age-appropriateness, and recommends affordable generic alternatives — in under 10 seconds.
Drug-drug interactions, wrong dosages, age-inappropriate prescriptions, and dangerous food combinations — these preventable errors cause millions of adverse drug events globally. PranaDrug's AI catches what humans miss.
Adverse drug events in India annually from preventable interactions
PranaDrug processes a full prescription and runs all safety checks
Of AI-powered safety checks on every single prescription
Enzyme-level pharmacokinetic interaction analysis for precision safety
Watch how PranaDrug's data pipeline traces from ingestion to clinical intervention, showcasing the full AI safety engine in real-time.
Upload a photo of any prescription — typed or handwritten. PranaDrug's PD-INGEST microservice uses advanced OCR with medical NER (Named Entity Recognition) to extract every drug name, dosage, frequency, and route of administration.
Handles multi-page prescriptions, poor handwriting, multilingual text, and even crossed-out entries. Processing time: under 10 seconds for standard prescriptions, under 30 seconds for complex handwritten documents.
PranaDrug's PD-ANALYSE engine maps every extracted drug name to its precise chemical identity using IUPAC nomenclature, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), and ATC classification. Brand names are resolved to their generic equivalents.
Example: "Crocin" → Paracetamol → N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide → ATC Code N02BE01. Every drug fully classified with molecular structure, therapeutic class, and pharmacological profile.
The PD-INTERACT engine cross-references every drug pair against pharmacological databases, checking CYP450 enzyme pathways (CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C19), renal clearance conflicts, and serotonergic accumulation risks.
Also detects critical drug-food interactions: grapefruit + statins (CYP3A4 inhibition), vitamin K foods + warfarin, calcium + fluoroquinolones, alcohol + metronidazole, and tyramine foods + MAOIs.
Must not be co-administered. Immediate physician alert.
Dose adjustment or monitoring required. Flag to physician.
Clinical significance likely. Patient counselling advised.
Low clinical significance. Logged for completeness.
PranaDrug's PD-DOSAGE engine validates every prescribed dose against established therapeutic ranges. For adults: Paracetamol max 4,000 mg/day (3,000 mg/day for elderly/liver disease). For children: max 60 mg/kg/day.
Kidney-aware dosing: Metformin is flagged for reduction when eGFR drops below 45 mL/min and contraindicated below 30 mL/min. All thresholds sourced from FDA guidance, WHO, BNF, and ICMR standards.
PranaDrug's PD-AGE classifier segments patients into Neonate, Infant, Child, Adolescent, Adult, and Geriatric groups — each with specific drug restrictions and warnings.
Children under 8: Tetracycline dental staining alerts. All paediatrics: Fluoroquinolone cartilage/tendon risk warnings. Elderly (65+): Beers Criteria screening — flagging high-risk medications like long-acting benzodiazepines, anticholinergics, and certain NSAIDs.
PranaDrug's PD-BRAND engine maps every branded drug to all available generic equivalents in the Indian market. Each brand is rated using a star-based scoring system considering manufacturer reputation, bioavailability data, CDSCO compliance, and price.
Patients save money without compromising quality. Example: A branded statin at ₹450/month vs a 5-star rated generic at ₹85/month — same API, same therapeutic effect, 80% cost savings.
PranaDrug's PD-VITAL module correlates real-time vital signs from Prana AI's wearable integrations with medication data. If HbA1c rises above 9% while on metformin, the system triggers a dose efficacy alert to the treating physician.
Blood pressure spikes while on amlodipine? Heart rate anomalies on beta-blockers? PranaDrug connects the dots that isolated systems miss — creating a closed-loop medication monitoring system.
Every prescription goes through 7 AI safety layers in under 10 seconds.

Every pharmacological claim in the PranaDrug SRS was independently verified against peer-reviewed medical literature, FDA guidance, WHO standards, and authoritative pharmacological databases.
N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide confirmed by PubChem, NIST, and ChEBI.
Simvastatin levels increase ~260% via CYP3A4 inhibition. Confirmed by American Journal of Medicine.
One of the best-established drug-food interactions in clinical pharmacology.
Original claim corrected: Metformin is NOT metabolised by CYP3A4. Replaced with simvastatin example.
Corrected from 75 mg/kg/day to 60 mg/kg/day per MSF, BNFc, and CHPA guidance.
Qualified: 4,000 mg/day for healthy adults; reduced to 3,000 mg/day for elderly and liver disease.

PranaDrug adheres to strict AI safety principles — not as optional features, but as foundational design constraints.
Every AI recommendation comes with a traceable, human-readable explanation. No black-box outputs in clinical decision support.
When the AI has low confidence, uncertainty is surfaced to the user rather than suppressed. Honest confidence scoring.
No AI output directly changes medication without human clinical approval. Physician override with documented rationale.
All AI models monitored for performance drift against gold-standard test sets updated quarterly.
Regular audits for performance disparities across age groups, genders, and Indian regional populations.
