Can I cancel my order?+

Yes, you can cancel free of charge any time before the order is packed. After dispatch, cancellation isn't possible — you may refuse delivery at the door instead.

What payment methods do you accept?+

Is there free delivery?+

Yes — free delivery on all orders above ₹999. Below that, a small shipping fee applies based on your pincode.

Headaches — Causes, Relief & When to Worry

What is the main cause of headaches?+

The most common causes are dehydration, stress and tension, lack of sleep, eye strain, skipped meals, and caffeine withdrawal. Migraines and sinus issues are also frequent triggers. Identifying your pattern helps prevent them.

How do you stop a headache quickly?+

Drink water, rest in a quiet dark room, apply a cold or warm compress, and gently massage your temples. For tension or mild headaches, an OTC pain reliever like paracetamol (Dolo 650) often helps. Always follow the label and consult a pharmacist if unsure.

What is the best medicine for headaches?+

Paracetamol (Dolo 650 / Crocin) is the most commonly used for mild-to-moderate headaches. For migraines, doctors may prescribe specific medicines. Never exceed the recommended dose, and consult a doctor for frequent headaches. You can chat free with our pharmacist for guidance.

How to cure a headache without medicine?+

Stay hydrated, rest, reduce screen time, apply a cold/warm compress, practice deep breathing, and ensure good sleep. Many tension headaches ease with hydration and rest alone. Persistent headaches should be checked by a doctor.

What foods and drinks help with headaches?+

Water is the most important — dehydration is a top trigger. Foods rich in magnesium (nuts, spinach, bananas), ginger tea, and staying regular with meals can help. Avoid excess caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods that may trigger headaches.

Can lack of sleep cause headaches?+

Yes. Both too little and irregular sleep are major headache triggers. Poor sleep disrupts the brain's pain regulation. Aim for 7–8 hours at consistent times.

What vitamin deficiency causes headaches?+

Deficiencies in Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, magnesium, and iron are commonly linked to headaches and fatigue. A simple blood test can confirm. Ask our pharmacist about suitable supplements once you know your levels.

How much water should I drink for a headache?+

Start with 1–2 glasses of water if you suspect a dehydration headache, and aim for 2–3 litres over the day. Rehydration often eases mild headaches within 30–60 minutes.

How to stop tension headaches?+

Manage stress, take screen breaks, correct your posture, stay hydrated, and get regular sleep. Gentle neck/shoulder stretches help. OTC paracetamol can relieve occasional tension headaches — see a doctor if they become frequent.

What are the serious warning signs of a headache?+

Seek medical care immediately for a sudden severe "worst-ever" headache, headache with fever and stiff neck, confusion, vision loss, weakness/numbness, difficulty speaking, or a headache after a head injury. These can signal serious conditions.

What is the best sleeping position for headaches?+

Sleeping on your back or side with proper neck support (a pillow that keeps your neck aligned) helps prevent tension headaches. Avoid sleeping on your stomach, which strains the neck.

Medicines — Buying Genuine & Common Questions

Which medicine is most used in India?+

Paracetamol (Dolo 650) is India's most-used medicine for fever and pain. Other widely used medicines include Pantoprazole (Pan 40) for acidity, Metformin (Glycomet) for diabetes, and Telmisartan (Telma) for blood pressure. All are available genuine at Rajdhani Medicos.

How do I know a medicine is genuine?+

Buy only from a licensed pharmacy. At Rajdhani Medicos, every medicine is sourced from authorized manufacturers/distributors, expiry-checked, and verified by a registered pharmacist (Drug License RLF21DL2025003179) before dispatch.

What are the most commonly prescribed medicines?+

Common ones include paracetamol (fever/pain), pantoprazole (acidity), metformin (diabetes), telmisartan/amlodipine (BP), thyroxine (thyroid), cetirizine (allergy), and azithromycin (antibiotic). We stock 50,000+ genuine medicines — search for yours or ask our pharmacist.

Can I order prescription medicines online in Delhi?+

Yes. Upload your valid prescription, our pharmacist verifies it, and we deliver same-day across Delhi. This is fully legal when done through a licensed pharmacy like ours.

What is the difference between generic and branded medicine?+

Both contain the same active ingredient and work the same way. Generics are usually cheaper as they skip brand marketing. Your doctor or our pharmacist can suggest a genuine, cost-effective option.

Is it safe to take multiple medicines together?+

Some medicines interact with each other. Always tell your doctor and pharmacist about everything you take — including supplements. Our pharmacist can flag common interactions free on WhatsApp before you order.

Supplements & Vitamins

What are supplements?+

Supplements are products (vitamins, minerals, proteins, herbal extracts) that add nutrients to your diet. They support health where your regular food may fall short — but they don't replace a balanced diet or prescribed medicines.

Who needs to take supplements?+

People with diagnosed deficiencies (Vitamin D, B12, iron), specific life stages (pregnancy, older adults), restricted diets, or certain health conditions may benefit. It's best to test first, then supplement. Ask our pharmacist for guidance.

What are the best supplements to take daily?+

Common daily supplements include a multivitamin, Vitamin D3, and omega-3 — but the right choice depends on your diet, age, and any deficiencies. Vitamin B12 and calcium are important for many Indians. Get tested and consult before starting.

What is the No. 1 supplement most people need?+

In India, Vitamin D is the most widely deficient nutrient — a large share of the population is low, even with sun exposure. A Vitamin D3 supplement is often the most impactful, but confirm with a blood test first.

Are supplements good or bad for you?+

Supplements are helpful when addressing a real deficiency and taken at correct doses. They can be harmful in excess (e.g., too much Vitamin A or iron). Buy genuine products, follow dosing, and consult a pharmacist or doctor.

What is the best time of day to take supplements?+

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and omega-3 are best taken with a meal containing fat. B-complex is often taken in the morning. Iron is best on an empty stomach (or as advised). Calcium and iron shouldn't be taken together. Check each product's label.

What supplements are safe to take daily?+

A standard multivitamin, Vitamin D3 (at recommended doses), and omega-3 are generally safe for daily use for most adults. Avoid megadoses. If you're on medicines or pregnant, consult first — some supplements interact with prescriptions.

Which brand is best for supplements in India?+

Look for well-established, quality-certified brands rather than the "strongest" claims. We stock trusted supplement brands and our pharmacist can recommend a genuine option that fits your need and budget — free on WhatsApp.

What are 7 essential vitamins?+

Key vitamins include Vitamin A (vision), B-complex (energy/nerves), Vitamin C (immunity), Vitamin D (bones), Vitamin E (skin/antioxidant), Vitamin K (clotting), and folate (especially in pregnancy). A varied diet plus targeted supplements covers most needs.
