How to Get Levonorgestrel Online in Austria

Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for Levonorgestrel online in Austria. Hi-Doctor connects you with an EU-licensed doctor who reviews your case confidentially. If appropriate, you receive a prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any EU pharmacy. The one-off online consultation costs 35 €.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee securely.
2. 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.
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 treatment

The doctor assesses your eligibility for Levonorgestrel as emergency contraception. They will review information you provide in the medical questionnaire, focusing on:

• The timing of unprotected intercourse. Levonorgestrel is effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex.
• Your medical history, including any allergies or existing conditions.
• Current medications you are taking.
• Your menstrual cycle details.

The doctor's primary goal is to ensure Levonorgestrel is safe and appropriate for your specific situation. They may recommend an alternative like ulipristal (ellaOne) if more than 72 hours have passed, as it is effective for up to 120 hours (5 days).

What Levonorgestrel actually does (and doesn't do)

Levonorgestrel is an emergency contraceptive, commonly known as the 'morning-after pill.' It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. It may also prevent fertilisation or implantation of a fertilised egg.

It is important to understand:

• Levonorgestrel is NOT a regular method of contraception.
• It is NOT an abortion pill; it will not terminate an existing pregnancy.
• It is most effective the sooner it is taken after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 24 hours, but can be taken up to 72 hours.
• It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medicines, Levonorgestrel can cause side effects, though not everybody gets them. Common side effects may include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and breast tenderness. Your next period might be earlier or later than expected.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or if your next period is more than 7 days late, as this could indicate an ectopic pregnancy or other complications.
