No, BPT course graduates, also known as physiotherapists, are not qualified to prescribe medicine. Unlike medical doctors with an MBBS degree, physiotherapists focus on non-invasive treatments like rehabilitation, physical therapy, and pain management to help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions.
While physiotherapists play a crucial role in improving mobility, strength, and overall physical function, they do not have the authority to prescribe medication or perform surgeries.
