๐Ÿ“œ Pharmacy Licensing

TODO before launch Replace the placeholders below with your actual retail drug license number(s), the licensing authority, and each partner pharmacy's registration details. Under Indian law (Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 & Rules, 1945), an online pharmacy/aggregator must display valid license information and cannot dispense Schedule H, H1, or X drugs without a verified prescription.

Medarent operates as a technology platform connecting customers with licensed retail pharmacies. Each pharmacy listed on Medarent holds a valid drug license issued under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and the Pharmacy Act, 1948. License numbers for each partner pharmacy are displayed on that pharmacy's store page.

๐Ÿ’Š Prescription Medicine Policy

โš ๏ธ Schedule H, H1 & X medicines

Medicines under Schedule H, H1, and X of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules cannot be sold without a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner. A licensed pharmacist reviews every uploaded prescription before such an order is confirmed. Orders are not auto-approved โ€” if the prescription is missing, unclear, expired, or does not match the medicines ordered, the pharmacist will reject the order and you will be notified with the reason.

When your cart contains a prescription-required medicine, you'll be asked to upload a clear photo of a valid prescription at checkout. Your order will show a status of "Pharmacist reviewing prescription" until it is approved โ€” this can take a short time and is a manual, human step, not automated.

๐Ÿ”’ Privacy Policy

TODO before launch This is a starting template โ€” have it reviewed against India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, especially given you handle health data (prescriptions).

We collect your name, phone number, delivery address, order history, and โ€” where you upload one โ€” your prescription image, solely to fulfil your medicine orders and provide customer support.

Prescription images are shared only with the licensed pharmacist reviewing your specific order and the fulfilling pharmacy. We do not sell health data to third parties, including advertisers.

Delivery timelines (e.g. "10 minutes") are estimates for in-stock, non-prescription items under normal conditions and may vary for prescription orders pending pharmacist review, low stock, or delivery-area conditions.
