Why does 1mg need a valid prescription ?

Modified on Wed, 2 Mar, 2022 at 1:35 PM

The Government of India, (Drugs and Cosmetics Act of India, 1940 & Rules 1945), has mandated compulsory prescription for certain categories of medicines. Thus, to process your order for such medicines 1mg will need a valid prescription. 

A valid prescription has the following information:

1.    Name and address of the doctor

2.    Doctor’s stamp or signature

3.    Patient name and age

4.    Date of visit or date of the prescription

5.    Name of medicine, dosage, strength and duration for which it is required

1mg verifies the ordered medicines against the prescription that you have shared with the order. 1mg checks that these medicines are prescribed by a qualified doctor.
