The Importance of Annual Health Checks While on Long-Term Medication

Looking to renew your long-term medication prescription online? Yes, you can get your medication through a licensed EU doctor without an in-person visit. Hi-Doctor offers a fast, convenient, and secure way to manage your ongoing treatment. For just €25, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, issues a REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours. This prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU, ensuring you get the medication you need, quickly and easily.

How it works — get your medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill out a brief online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically — no risk. You pay nothing.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for the medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. This includes reviewing your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you might be taking. For some medications, body mass index (BMI) or specific lab results are crucial. Contraindications, such as certain allergies or pre-existing conditions, will also be carefully considered to ensure your safety and treatment effectiveness.

What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Understanding how your medication works is key to successful treatment. Most long-term medications work by targeting specific pathways or systems in your body to manage chronic conditions. For example, some may regulate blood pressure, while others might control blood sugar or cholesterol levels. It's important to have realistic expectations: these medications are designed to manage conditions over time, not to provide instant cures. Consistency and adherence to the doctor's instructions are vital for achieving the intended benefits and maintaining your health.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, long-term treatments can have side effects. These can range from mild and temporary, such as nausea or fatigue, to more serious reactions. Your doctor will discuss typical side effects with you and what to look out for. It is crucial to contact a medical professional immediately if you experience any severe or unusual symptoms. Never stop taking your medication without consulting a doctor, as abrupt discontinuation can lead to adverse health outcomes or worsening of your condition.
