If you are in the Netherlands and searching for Ketoconazole for weight loss, it is important to know that this medication is not approved for weight loss in the EU. Ketoconazole is primarily an antifungal drug. While its potential for weight management is under investigation, it is not currently available for prescription for this purpose. However, Hi-Doctor offers access to other EU-approved weight-loss medications. Our EU-licensed doctors provide online consultations for 25 €, issue prescriptions within 24 hours, and these are valid at any EU pharmacy.
How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Getting an online consultation for EU-approved weight-loss medications through Hi-Doctor is straightforward and secure. The entire process happens online, without waiting rooms or video calls.
- Complete a medical questionnaire: Fill out a detailed, private online form about your health history and current condition. This takes just a few minutes.
- Doctor reviews your case: An EU-licensed doctor individually assesses your information. They determine if treatment is appropriate for you based on their clinical judgment.
- Receive your prescription: If approved, a REMPE electronic prescription (Spain's official digital private prescription standard) is issued within 24 hours. You receive a downloadable PDF in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email. The online consultation fee is a flat 25 €.
- Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the Netherlands or any other EU country. Pharmacists will review the PDF and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent. Please note, pharmacists retain the right to refuse.

Who qualifies
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. Generally, to qualify for EU-approved weight-loss medications, you must meet specific criteria related to your Body Mass Index (BMI) and any weight-related health conditions. These medications are typically prescribed for adults with:
- A BMI of 30 or higher (obesity).
- A BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia).
The doctor will review your medical history to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, you pay nothing — your 25 € consultation fee is refunded. This is a no-risk consultation.
What the medication actually does
Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication, primarily used to treat serious fungal infections. Its potential for weight loss is currently under investigation due to its effects on cortisol production, a hormone linked to metabolism. However, for weight loss, Ketoconazole remains an investigational drug and is not approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for this use. Therefore, it is not available for prescription for weight loss in the Netherlands or elsewhere in the EU.
Instead, Hi-Doctor offers access to EMA-approved weight-loss medications that work through different mechanisms:
- GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (e.g., Semaglutide, Liraglutide, Tirzepatide): These medications mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying, leading to significant weight loss.
These are established treatments with a proven safety and efficacy profile when prescribed by a qualified medical professional.
Side effects and when to stop
As Ketoconazole is not prescribed for weight loss, we cannot provide details on its side effects in that context. However, all medications, including EMA-approved weight-loss drugs, carry potential side effects. Common side effects for GLP-1 receptor agonists can include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
These side effects are usually mild and tend to decrease over time. Serious side effects are rare but can occur. Your Hi-Doctor will discuss potential side effects specific to any prescribed medication during your consultation. You should stop any medication and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions, persistent severe abdominal pain, or any other concerning symptoms. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
