Questions
Is this the same medicine my doctor wrote?
Yes — the same salts at the same strengths, in the same form. The name on the strip is different and it is made by a different company, both under the same standards. If any salt or strength differs, we say we do not have it.
Why is it a fraction of the price?
Most of what you pay at a chemist is marketing, sales visits and distributor margin, not the medicine. A company that skips those can price the same tablet lower.
Do I need a prescription?
For any prescription medicine, yes. We do not sell Schedule H1 or X medicines, or narcotic and habit-forming ones, at all. A registered pharmacist verifies it before dispatch and their registration number is recorded on the sale.
What if you do not have my medicine?
We say so. We never show a nearly-right medicine — a near miss is worse than none. Every search that finds nothing is recorded automatically, so we can see what to add. You can also send the prescription on WhatsApp and a pharmacist will look for it.
Can I cancel or return an order?
An order cannot be cancelled once it is placed. We replace or refund only if we delivered the wrong item, or a medicine that expires within 3 months. Call us within 15 days of delivery; we handle these by phone.
Are you a government service?
No. JanAushadhiOnline is an independent business, not a government scheme or PMBI. Medicines are dispensed by a registered Janaushadhi Kendra.
What happens to my prescription?
You send it to us on WhatsApp. A registered pharmacist checks it before a prescription order is released, and their registration number is recorded with the decision. You can ask for your account and data to be deleted at any time.
