Brief Answer:
I am sorry

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Online prescription is not possible for prescription only medications as it requires physical examination of patient and confirmation of diagnosis by all possible means. This is also against the medical ethics which governs the doctors.

I think it is best interest of the patient as nobody will be there for help if somebody procures online prescription.

I hope this clarifies.
Thanks and regards.
