Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for a Fosfomycin prescription from an EU-licensed doctor online, even in Lisbon, Portugal. If you're experiencing symptoms of an uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI), Hi-Doctor offers a fast, convenient, and secure way to get assessed. Our doctors provide a review of your case for a flat 35 € fee, and if treatment is appropriate, you receive an electronic prescription signed by an EU-licensed doctor in under 24 hours. Each pharmacy reviews it and decides whether it can be dispensed.
How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee securely. This provides the doctor with all necessary clinical information.
- A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk, you pay nothing.
- If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account within 24 hours. You will also receive an email notification that your prescription is ready.
- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy to collect your medication. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse to dispense.
Who qualifies for treatment
Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Fosfomycin only for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for:
- Typical symptoms of uncomplicated cystitis (e.g., painful urination, frequent urination, urgency).
- No signs of a complicated UTI, kidney infection (pyelonephritis), or sexually transmitted infection.
- No relevant contraindications in your medical history (e.g., severe kidney problems, known allergies to Fosfomycin).
- Your age and gender, as male UTIs or infections in children require different approaches.
The online medical questionnaire is designed to gather all necessary information for the doctor's clinical assessment.
What Fosfomycin actually does (and doesn't do)
Fosfomycin is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat bacterial infections in the urinary tract, primarily uncomplicated cystitis. It works by preventing bacteria from building their cell walls, effectively killing them or stopping their growth. It's often prescribed as a single-dose treatment, offering convenience and potentially better adherence.
It's important to understand that Fosfomycin is not a cure-all for all urinary symptoms. It will not treat viral infections, STIs, or more severe kidney infections. Relief from symptoms typically begins within 24-48 hours after taking the dose, but it's crucial to follow the doctor's instructions.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Fosfomycin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Headache
- Dizziness
These are usually mild and temporary. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), severe diarrhea, or persistent vomiting. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are concerned about side effects or if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after a few days.
