If you're searching for Ketoconazole online in Florence, it's important to know that Hi-Doctor does not offer consultations for this medication. Ketoconazole is primarily an antifungal and is not approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for weight loss. However, for other safe, EU-approved treatments such as hair growth or weight loss, you can access an online consultation for 45 € every 90 days (cancel anytime) or 35 € one-off. If appropriate, a prescription is issued in under 24 hours, recognised by EU pharmacies.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

Accessing an EU-licensed doctor for a prescription for Hi-Doctor's offered treatments is simple and secure. Here’s how it works:

  1. Complete a secure online medical questionnaire: Answer questions about your health and medical history. This takes just a few minutes.
  2. EU-licensed doctor reviews your case: An experienced doctor, licensed in the EU, individually assesses your information.
  3. Receive your valid electronic prescription: If treatment is appropriate, a Valid electronic prescription is issued within 24 hours. You get a downloadable PDF via email and in your Hi-Doctor account.
  4. Pick up at any EU pharmacy: Print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in Florence, Italy, or any other EU country. Pharmacists review the PDF and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent. They retain the right to refuse dispensing.

The online consultation for hair growth or weight loss costs 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded. No risk — you pay nothing if the doctor says no.

Who qualifies

You qualify for an online consultation if you are an adult patient located in the EU. Eligibility for specific medications depends on the doctor's clinical assessment of your medical history, current health, and suitability for treatment. This ensures your safety and the effectiveness of any prescribed medication.

What the medication actually does

Ketoconazole's primary use is as an antifungal. While some early research has explored its off-label potential for weight management, its efficacy and safety for this purpose are not established or approved by the EMA. For EMA-approved weight loss, medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda) and dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Mounjaro) work by regulating appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and improving metabolic control, leading to significant weight reduction when combined with lifestyle changes.

Side effects and when to stop

Since Ketoconazole is not approved for weight loss, its side effects in this context are not fully understood. When used as an antifungal, it can cause liver damage, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. For EMA-approved weight-loss medications, common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. Serious side effects are rare but possible. Your Hi-Doctor will inform you of potential side effects for any prescribed medication and advise when to stop or seek medical attention. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
