NPRA MEDICINE CATALOGUE & PRACTICE STOCK
Watson comes with 28,000+ pharmaceutical products sourced from Malaysia’s National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency, NPRA. Add the medicine to your practice inventory, then manage the stock you actually hold.

Adding a medicine definition does not create stock. Receiving or dispensing stock is a separate action.
Setting up inventory can mean copying long medicine names, strengths and registration details one item at a time. Keeping a spreadsheet current adds another job after every delivery and dispense. Watson separates the shared medicine catalogue from your own stock, so staff can start from an existing definition and manage the quantities in the practice.
HOW THE WORK CONNECTS
Search the shared catalogue sourced from NPRA’s Approved Pharmaceutical Products. Select the correct product and verify its details.
Add the medicine to your practice inventory and record the stock units, batch, expiry and quantity you actually receive.
Set minimum stock levels for the medicines your practice uses. Review low stock and approaching expiry when planning the next order.
Staff confirms the medicine supplied. That action records the stock movement, including partial supply and the selected batch.
BUILT FOR YOUR PRACTICE
The catalogue starts with official Malaysian medicine registration information, including product and MAL registration details where available. Staff selects the correct medicine instead of rebuilding the definition. Catalogue information supports identification; the clinician and dispensing team remain responsible for choosing and checking the medicine.
Keep the countable stock unit separate from a medicine’s strength: a tablet is a stock unit, while milligrams describe its strength. Record batch quantities and expiry dates, receive new stock and review movement history. Minimum levels support reordering decisions; they do not place supplier orders automatically.
Saving a prescription does not deduct inventory. The staff-confirmed dispensing step allocates the supplied stock, with expiry-aware or explicit batch selection. Partial supply and returns can be recorded, with a separate decision about whether returned stock should be put back into inventory.
BEFORE YOUR DEMO
The shared repository is bootstrapped from NPRA’s Approved Pharmaceutical Products and includes over 28,000 pharmaceutical products. The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency is Malaysia’s medicine regulatory authority. Catalogue provenance and contributed definitions are distinguished.
No. A medicine definition identifies the product. Your practice inventory records the stock you hold, including quantities, stock units, batches and expiry dates.
Yes. Set a minimum level for an inventory item and use the stock view to identify what needs attention. Your team still decides when and how much to order from a supplier.
No. Stock changes when staff confirms dispensing. This keeps the record aligned with actual supply, including a partial dispense rather than the full prescription quantity.
The NPRA catalogue covers pharmaceutical products. Dental materials, instruments and specialist stock have different requirements; review them separately rather than assuming the medicine repository covers every dental item.
