Can a doctor from one country prescribe medicine to a person in another country?
<p>Can a doctor from one country prescribe medicine to a person in another country if they both are connecting through an online medium?</p>

<p>You don't say what exactly you mean by "can". </p>

<p>First, that doctor won't prescribe anything unless they are paid. Second, the prescription will most likely only be valid for pharmacies in the doctors country; often only valid for one local pharmacy, and most definitely not for pharmacies outside the country. </p>

<p>So you have to convince the doctor to issue a prescription, to send it to you in a foreign country, and then you have to convince your pharmacy to hand over the medication to you. Not going to happen. </p>

<p>Now if you think about a doctor in another country who will actually send you the medication: In that case, you have no idea whether the "doctor" is actually a doctor, and whether the "medication" he or she sends is actually what it says on the box. </p>
