Can you send me prescription for the medicines?

Brief Answer:
Kindly request your General Practitioner

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Good Morning.

I suggest that you request your GP to kindly do the needful. Fluticasone propionate 0.05% (Flutivate cream) is a prescription medication while Vitamin C tablets and Blistex lip balm can be procured directly without a prescription from a local drug store.
Kindly also go through the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.
