SECTION 16 - MERAGO PRESCRIPTION POLICY

​

Merago empanels only NMC certified qualified doctors licensed to practice medicine, who give out prescriptions for various ailments, if medically necessary after arriving at a clinical diagnosis.

​

Our doctors provide medication prescriptions for Merago clients for a wide range of conditions. Types of medications commonly prescribed are supportive and symptomatic as laid down by regulations. These may be new prescriptions or refill of existing prescriptions for maintenance medicines (e.g., blood pressure medication, etc.), as medically indicated. All prescriptions furnished by a Merago doctor are issued in accordance with applicable national guidelines as well as Merago policy.

​

Merago reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its network doctors.

The Board of Governors, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has adopted the “Telemedicine Practice Guidelines” and has included it as an amendment to the NMC (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 after approval by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.

The following tenets of the guidelines will be diligently followed :

​

  • Prescribing medications, via telemedicine consultation is at the professional discretion of the provider. It entails the same professional accountability as in the traditional in-person consult. If a medical condition requires a particular protocol to diagnose and prescribe as in the case of an in-person consultation then the same prevailing principle will be applicable to a telemedicine consult.

​

  • The provider will prescribe medicines via telemedicine ONLY when he/she is satisfied that he/she has gathered adequate and relevant information about the patient’s medical condition, and that the prescribed medicines are in the best interest of the patient.

​

  • The process of prescribing medicines will be done only after the provider has mandatorily arrived at a clinical diagnosis and documents it, without which the prescription will be invalid, and the process can amount to professional misconduct.

​

  • List O Medications: The provider can prescribe List O medications which are safe to be prescribed through any mode of tele consultation. The drugs included in this category are over-the-counter medications (like Paracetamol, ORS solutions, cough medications, etc.), and medicines that may be deemed necessary during public health emergencies.

​

  • List B medications: The provider can prescribe List B medications, which are medications prescribed to a patient who is undergoing follow-up consultation, being previously prescribed during an in-person consult for the same medical condition.

 

  • Prohibited List: These are Medicines listed in Schedule X of the Drug and Cosmetic Act and Rules including any Narcotic, Psychotropic and controlled drugs listed in the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, Act, 1985. These medications have a high potential for abuse and could harm the patient or society at large if used improperly.  The Provider cannot prescribe medicines from this list after a teleconsultation.

 

The provider shall issue a prescription as per the NMC (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations and shall not contravene the provisions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules.

The Provider shall provide either a photo, scan, or digital copy of a signed prescription or e-Prescription to the patient via email or any messaging platform after consultation.

In case the Provider is transmitting the prescription directly to a pharmacy, he/she must ensure explicit consent of the patient that entitles him/her to get the medicines dispensed from any pharmacy of his / her choice.
