How to read what your doctor wrote
Your prescription
The big word
Telma 40
The small print
Telmisartan 40 mg
On a prescription, the brand name is what the doctor writes. On the strip, the salt and strength are printed underneath it in smaller type. That small print is what your body receives.
- Find the medicine name on the prescription.
- Type it into the search. We show the salt and strength beside every suggestion.
- Check the composition on the comparison card against the strip you have at home.
- If a medicine needs a prescription, send a photo and a registered pharmacist verifies it before dispatch.
Prescription medicines
Medicines marked Rx need a prescription by law. Ours is verified by a named registered pharmacist, and their registration number is recorded on the sale. Your prescription is read only by them, stored privately in India, and every time it is opened is logged.
