Instantly Provide Your Patients with Directions for Use (SIGs) and Auxiliary Warning Labels (AWL) in Their Language

Working with pharmacists, computer scientists and computational linguists, RxTran developed unique, patent-pending software that enables you to translate prescription drug Patient Instructions “Directions for Use” or SIGs, which can be translated accurately, precisely, and instantaneously with RxTran. You can print patient instructions / SIGs in any of the approximately twenty languages directly onto the container label and the package inserts / CMI.

Don’t Change Your Workflow; Enter SIGs into Your System as You Always Did

Pharmacists and physicians are used to entering Directions for Use for patients (SIGs) as free-text into their PMS software. They are understandably reluctant to spend more time entering SIGs in a structured way by using many clicks. Now they don’t have to. With RxTran, pharmacists can continue entering Patient Instructions / SIGs into their Pharmacy Management System as free-form text. They can even use standard SIG Codes and abbreviations, such as bid (2 times a day), po (by mouth), q34h (every 4 hours), x7d (for 7 days), prn (as needed), etc.

Our system matches the sigs to tens of thousands of sig phrases we have already translated into 26 languages. The accuracy of these translations have been validated by professional pharmacists who are native speakers of the target language (the language they are translating into).

Currently, our system can translate your sigs into 26 languages: Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Burmese, Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional), Farsi, French, German, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Nepali, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese (for Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog and Vietnamese.
