Apply for pharmacy access
Every pharmacy is verified before it can write tags, so nobody can write tags in your pharmacy's name. Most applications take about 10 minutes, all online.
Pricing
$60 a year per pharmacy, with 1,200 tags included each year, plus a one-time $50 onboarding fee. Prices are in US dollars, and taxes may apply.
| Extra tags | Price | Per tag |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | $50 | 5 cents |
| 2,500 | $100 | 4 cents |
| 5,000 | $150 | 3 cents |
| 10,000 | $250 | 2.5 cents |
- 1,200 tags each year. Each renewal adds 1,200 more. Unused tags carry over, so no tags ever expire.
- Need more? Buy a pack. Purchased tags never expire either, and they're used only after your yearly tags run out.
- Nothing is charged automatically for extra tags. When your tags run out, writing pauses until you buy a pack.
- Reading is always free for patients. Cancel any time. Tags you've already written keep working.
You'll see the full pharmacy agreement, privacy policy, and business associate agreement when you sign up, before you pay.
What you'll need to buy
- NTAG216 NFC tags. Look for "NTAG216" as the chip and 888 bytes of user memory. About 872 of those bytes hold the label.
- Avoid smaller or unnamed tags. NTAG213 and NTAG215 tags may not hold a full label. Tags sold without a named chip may not work.
- Enough for every fill. Each tag locks permanently when written, so it can be used only once. A label with an error needs a new tag.
- A USB NFC reader, only if you'll write from a Windows computer. We'll list the tested readers when the Windows app is released.
Staff guides: setting up printers, where to put tags, including on metal and foil packaging, the fold-out large-print label, and the patient welcome sheet to print in each patient's language.
How labels and patients work
- Write every label in English. The patient's device can translate it. Use short, clear directions.
- A pharmacist signs every tag. Your admin adds each pharmacist with their own 4-digit PIN. The pharmacist's PIN is needed to write a tag, and their initials are read aloud at the end of the label.
- Register each patient with a code. The app generates a private 16-digit code that opens that patient's tags. Give it to the patient, and use it for all their tags.
- Patients and labels are saved on your device. The app keeps them encrypted on that phone or computer, so you can recall a patient or label next time. They're never sent to Dhruani.

Check the manager's ID
The pharmacy manager takes a photo of their driver's license or other government photo ID, and a selfie. Stripe checks that they match, and we check that the name matches the manager's license. Stripe handles the photos. We never see or keep them.
It takes about 2 minutes. On a computer, you can switch to your phone to take the photos.
A person is checking one detail
Your email, phones, and ID check are done, but something couldn't be confirmed automatically, such as the manager's license or the name on the ID. We'll email you once it's checked, usually within one business day.
You're all set
We emailed your activation key. Open the Dhruani app, choose Pharmacy access, and enter it. Each key works once, for one phone or computer.

Already approved? Get a key, buy tags, update a licence, or add a location
Each phone or computer needs its own key. To buy tags, we email you a link to the tag store, good for 24 hours. To upload a renewed or corrected licence, we email you a link good for 30 days. Owners with more than one pharmacy can add another location with a link good for 7 days: it reuses your owner details and business document, and bills to the same card. Each goes only to the address your pharmacy verified when it applied. You can also buy tags from the app.
