The Future of Healthcare: Why Telemedicine is Here to Stay

Looking to get your medication prescription online in the EU? You've come to the right place. Telemedicine makes it simple, fast, and private to access the treatment you need from an EU-licensed doctor. With Hi-Doctor, you complete a quick online consultation for just €25. If the doctor finds the treatment appropriate, you receive a downloadable electronic prescription within 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy across the European Union. No clinic visits, no long waits — just convenient, professional care.

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 REMPE 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 — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for the medication

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review every case to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. They assess your medical history, current health status, and specific needs based on the information you provide in your online questionnaire. For certain medications like GLP-1s (e.g., semaglutide or tirzepatide) for weight management, the doctor will look for specific criteria such as a Body Mass Index (BMI) above a certain threshold, or co-existing conditions like type 2 diabetes. Contraindications, such as a history of certain thyroid cancers or pancreatitis, will also be carefully considered to ensure your safety. The doctor's decision prioritises your health above all else.

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

The medication you are seeking works in specific ways to address your condition. For instance, GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite, leading to reduced food intake and weight loss over time. It's important to understand that while these medications are highly effective for many, they are not a magic bullet. They work best when combined with lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for results vary; for weight loss medications, significant changes often become apparent over several months, not weeks. The doctor will explain the expected action and limitations specific to your prescribed treatment.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, the treatment you receive may have side effects. Common side effects for many medications include nausea, headache, or digestive issues, which are often mild and temporary as your body adjusts. Your EU-licensed doctor will discuss potential side effects relevant to your specific medication during the consultation. It's crucial to be aware of red flags, such as severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or allergic reactions. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, you should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor will provide clear guidance on when to discontinue treatment or seek further advice.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the doctor decides I'm not a candidate for the medication?

If the EU-licensed doctor determines that the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 consultation fee is refunded automatically. You pay nothing if the treatment isn't approved, making it a no-risk consultation.
