How to Upload a Prescription Online in India (Step-by-Step)

Indian online pharmacies must verify prescriptions for Schedule H, H1, and other regulated medicines under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.

Capzul lets you upload a prescription photo or PDF from your phone. A pharmacist reviews it before prescription medicines are dispatched.

What counts as a valid prescription

  • Doctor name, registration number, and signature or stamp
  • Patient name and date of issue
  • Medicine name, strength, dosage, and duration
  • Full letterhead or clinic pad (avoid cropped WhatsApp screenshots)

Steps to upload on Capzul

  • Sign in with your mobile number
  • Go to Upload Prescription and choose photo or PDF
  • Add optional notes (allergies, timing preferences)
  • Wait for pharmacist review (usually 5-10 minutes)
  • Add matched medicines to cart and checkout

Common upload mistakes to avoid

  • Blurry photos or cut-off medicine names
  • Expired prescriptions for controlled medicines
  • Missing doctor registration details
  • Uploading only one page of a multi-page Rx
