Folvite Tablet is a dietary supplement that contains folic acid (vitamin B9) as its active ingredient. It is commonly used to treat and prevent folic acid deficiency anaemia, a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells due to low folic acid levels. Symptoms of this deficiency may include weakness, fatigue, headache, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Folic acid plays a vital role in several body functions. It is essential for the formation of healthy red blood cells, supports growth and development, and is necessary for producing DNA and RNA, the body’s genetic material. It also aids cell and tissue growth during pregnancy, fetal development, and adolescence, making it particularly important for women planning a pregnancy or who are pregnant.

While Folvite Tablet helps bridge nutritional gaps, it is essential to remember that dietary supplements are not a replacement for a healthy and balanced diet. Consuming foods rich in folate, such as leafy greens, citrus fruits, legumes, and fortified cereals, alongside your supplement can enhance its benefits. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of Folvite treatment after evaluating your condition.

Do not take more than the prescribed dose, as excessive folic acid intake can have side effects. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have any chronic medical condition, or take other medications, consult your doctor before starting Folvite Tablet. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices will work together with your supplement to keep you feeling your best.

At Sunway Pharmacy, we are committed to the safe and responsible dispensing of prescription medicines in strict compliance with Indian pharmaceutical laws and regulations. This policy outlines our procedures for handling prescription medications.

What are Prescription Medicines?

Prescription medicines, also known as Schedule H, H1, and X drugs under the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, are medications that can only be sold against a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner. These medicines require professional medical supervision due to their potency, potential side effects, or risk of misuse.

Categories of Prescription Drugs

Schedule H Drugs: Prescription-only medicines that must be sold only against a valid prescription. The label must display "Rx" symbol and the text "Schedule H Drug - Warning: To be sold by retail on the prescription of a Registered Medical Practitioner only."

Schedule H1 Drugs: Restricted prescription drugs that require stricter controls. These include certain antibiotics and anti-TB drugs. Pharmacies must maintain detailed records of sale for a minimum of 3 years.

Schedule X Drugs: Narcotic and psychotropic substances requiring special prescriptions and record-keeping as per NDPS Act, 1985. These include controlled substances like morphine, codeine, and certain sedatives.

Prescription Requirements

To purchase prescription medicines from Sunway Pharmacy, you must provide a valid prescription that includes:

• Patient's full name, age, and gender
• Date of prescription (must be recent - typically within 3 months for most drugs)
• Name of the medicine with strength and dosage form (e.g., "Amoxicillin 500mg Capsules")
• Dosage instructions (e.g., "1 tablet twice daily after meals")
• Duration of treatment (e.g., "for 7 days")
• Prescriber's full name and qualification (e.g., Dr. Amit Shah, MBBS, MD)
• Prescriber's registration number (Medical Council registration)
• Prescriber's signature and official stamp/seal
• Prescriber's contact details (clinic/hospital name, address, and phone number)

Prescription Verification Process

Every prescription uploaded is carefully reviewed by our registered pharmacist (Ms R. JAYASUDHA, Reg. No. 45512A1) who will:

• Verify the authenticity and validity of the prescription
• Check that the prescribed medicine matches your order
• Ensure the dosage and instructions are appropriate and safe
• Confirm the prescription is from a registered medical practitioner (verified via State Medical Council database)
• Check for potential drug interactions if multiple medicines are ordered
• Contact the prescriber directly if any clarification is needed (with your consent)
• Reject orders if the prescription is invalid, expired, unclear, or raises safety concerns

Verification Timeline:  Business hours (9AM-9PM) MON-SAT. Prescriptions uploaded after hours will be verified the next business day.

Prescription Validity Period

• General Medicines (Schedule H): 6 months from date of issue
• Controlled Substances (Schedule X): 30 days from date of issue as per NDPS regulations
• Antibiotics (Schedule H1): 30 days from date of issue to prevent antibiotic resistance
• Chronic Disease Medications: As specified by the prescriber (usually 3-6 months)

Prescription Retention & Privacy

Refills & Repeat Orders

For Acute Medications: A new prescription is required for each order (e.g., antibiotics, pain relievers for short-term use)

For Chronic Medications: If your prescription specifies refills or duration (e.g., "for 3 months" or "2 refills allowed"), you may reorder within that period without uploading a new prescription. Our system automatically tracks this.

Automatic Refill Reminders: With your consent, we can send you SMS/email reminders 7 days before your chronic medication runs out (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, thyroid medications).

Subscription Service: For regular medications, you can set up auto-delivery every 30/60/90 days. Your prescription validity will be tracked automatically.
