In India, a Physician Assistant (PA) is not authorized to prescribe medicines independently, as they are required to work under the direct supervision of a licensed doctor. Their role involves assisting doctors in various medical procedures, diagnosing conditions, and providing patient care, but prescribing medication is strictly limited to qualified doctors holding a valid medical license.
