Medical Prescription Generator (mockup)

How a Brazilian medical prescription is structured

A receita médica (medical prescription) is a legal document issued by a licensed physician that authorizes a pharmacy to dispense a specific medication. In Brazil, dispensing is governed by Lei 5.991/1973 and controlled substances by Portaria SVS/MS 344/1998, while the physician's duties are codified in the Code of Medical Ethics — Resolução CFM 1.931/2009. A generated mock prescription is useful for designing pharmacy software, training students, building OCR datasets and developing form-validation logic — never for actual dispensing.

Every valid prescription must contain: full patient name, the prescription itself (active ingredient, dosage, pharmaceutical form, posology and treatment duration), date of issue, and the prescriber's identification — full name, CRM/UF (Regional Medical Council registration), specialty, handwritten or digital signature and clinic stamp with address. Since Lei 9.787/1999, physicians treating SUS patients must prescribe using the DCB (Brazilian Common Denomination, the generic name) — the patient is free to choose the manufacturer at the counter.

Types of prescription and validity

• Simple prescription — common medications; valid for 30 days; pharmacy keeps no copy.
• Special prescription (red-stripe, list C1) — anorectics, anabolic steroids, retinoids and antibiotics; 30-day validity; pharmacy retains one copy.
• Notification A1/A2/A3 (yellow-stripe) — narcotics and psychotropics from lists A1, A2 and A3; only valid with a serialized form issued by the State Health Secretariat (SES).
• Special B1/B2 (blue-stripe) — benzodiazepines and other list-B psychotropics; 30-day validity; pharmacy retains one copy.

Digital prescriptions and the gov.br stack

Resolução CFM 2.299/2021 formalized the electronic prescription. Platforms like Memed and Nexodata generate a PDF signed with an ICP-Brasil certificate (or gov.br level Ouro/Prata), include a QR code that pharmacies scan to verify integrity, and have the same legal validity as paper. Telemedicine became permanent under Lei 14.510/2022, so a remote consultation can produce a fully enforceable digital prescription.

Legitimate uses for a mock generator

• Designing layouts for pharmacy or hospital management systems.
• Training pharmacy technicians to read and validate a prescription.
• Building OCR / machine-learning datasets for paper-prescription digitization.
• Producing screenshots for academic papers, course material and software documentation.

FAQ

Can I print this and take it to a pharmacy? Absolutely not. Forging a prescription is the federal crime of document forgery (Código Penal art. 297), punishable by 2 to 6 years of imprisonment plus a fine. Using a forged prescription to obtain a psychotropic substance also triggers Lei 11.343/2006 (drug-trafficking statute).

Is it legal to teach a pharmacy student to spot a fake? Yes — generating mock documents for didactic training is lawful. The output here is clearly marked, contains no real CRM and is not meant for dispensing.

Can I use it to test my OCR pipeline? Yes. A synthetic prescription is ideal for benchmarking layout detection, handwriting recognition and validation of fields like CRM, posology and DCB without touching real patient data (LGPD-friendly).

Does the generator transmit anything? No. Everything happens locally in your browser — no API call, no database write, no third-party tracking on the generated content.
