Brief Answer:
We are unable to issue prescriptions through this platform.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I would like to know if you seek to obtain Alprostadil in Goa or in the UK. In Goa you might be able to obtain this medicine without prescription but in the UK a prescription from a doctor authorised to practice in UK would be needed. Unfortunately we are unable to generate prescriptions through this platform. There are online sites from where you might be able to obtain this medication even without prescription but due to the health risks associated, it is not recommended that you take this medication without the guidance of a doctor.

Let me know if I could provide any help otherwise.

I was hoping to get a prescription here in Goa/India Sir, which would then enable to purchase online....this is what i did in the UK as it's very simple & legal to obtain an online prescription from a doctor normally attached to a company/website selling the medications...unfortunately it doesn't,t seem the same in XXXXXXX As you said there are those advertising for treatments without a prescription but that's a bit risky not just for health reasons but the pocket also as most don,t exist and simply scam people using the likes of Indiamart as a front, truth known.
Many thanks for your honesty & time anyway Sir, Regards. XXXXXXX
