Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
For prescription only option is to go to local doctor as medication will not be dispensed on the basis of online prescription.
Additionally prescribing online is not possible as it is against law and against medical ethics.
I hope this clarifies.
Thanks and regards.
