Each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense an approved prescription; some do not accept PDF prescriptions.

The European Health Data Space: Implications for Patients

Looking to get your medication prescription online in Spain or anywhere in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case online and, if appropriate, issue a valid prescription. Our process is fast, affordable, and fully compliant with EU regulations. Pay just €25 for the consultation, receive your prescription in under 24 hours (if approved), and pick up your medication at any pharmacy across the EU.

How it works: get your medication prescription in 4 steps

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

Who qualifies for the medication

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review every case to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. They look for specific criteria, which may include your medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions. For certain medications, such as GLP-1s, a specific Body Mass Index (BMI) might be a key factor. Critical contraindications will be assessed to ensure the medication is safe for you. The doctor's decision is final and based on your health profile.

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

This medication works by targeting specific pathways in your body, providing its intended therapeutic effect. For example, some medications might regulate blood sugar, others might influence appetite, or address specific hormonal imbalances. It's important to understand that while effective, results can vary, and the medication is part of a broader health management plan. Realistic timelines for seeing effects will be discussed if the doctor finds it appropriate for you.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, this treatment can have side effects. Common side effects are generally mild and temporary. Your doctor will discuss these with you during the review process and advise on what to look out for. It's crucial to stop the medication and seek medical advice if you experience any severe or unusual symptoms. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
