Yes — an online consultation with a qualified psychiatrist can result in a valid prescription that you can use at a pharmacy in India to buy ADHD medications (including Schedule X drugs like methylphenidate), as long as:
• The doctor is registered and licensed to practice tele-medicine, and
• They provide a signed prescription following India’s Telemedicine Practice Guidelines.
Pharmacies in India are required to accept a legitimate prescription for Schedule X drugs, whether it was issued in person or via a proper online consultation.
