How the process should work
Medication supply should begin with a valid prescription or treatment plan from an appropriately licensed treating doctor. Where a medicine is to be sourced from India, IndiaMedHealth can help coordinate with an appropriate licensed pharmacy or supplier and a permitted courier/export route.
What determines whether a medicine can be sent
- The medicine itself and whether it is controlled or restricted.
- Prescription requirements in India.
- Import rules in the destination country.
- Courier and customs restrictions.
- Temperature or cold-chain requirements.
- Quantity limits and required documents.
Important: IndiaMedHealth is not a pharmacy and does not prescribe medicines. Availability and shipment are subject to prescription, pharmacy, courier, customs and destination-country regulations.
When local supply is preferable
If the same medicine can be obtained safely and reliably in the patient's home country, local procurement may be simpler. IndiaMedHealth can help clarify the generic name, strength and prescription information so the patient can discuss an equivalent local supply with their doctor or pharmacist.
