How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire and pay the consultation fee. Your medical history and current situation are assessed privately.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk. You pay nothing if you don't get a prescription.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your secure Hi-Doctor account within 24 hours. You will receive an email notification when it's ready.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse, and they may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent.

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor reviews your case to ensure Levonorgestrel is safe and appropriate for you. This includes assessing:

• The timing of unprotected intercourse (Levonorgestrel is effective within 72 hours).
• Your menstrual cycle stage.
• Any relevant medical history or current medications that might contraindicate use.
• Whether emergency contraception is truly indicated.

The doctor's primary concern is your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

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 (the release of an egg from the ovary). If an egg has already been released, it may prevent fertilisation or implantation. It is crucial to understand that Levonorgestrel:

• Is effective within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex. For protection up to 120 hours (5 days), ulipristal (ellaOne) may be considered.
• Is NOT a regular method of contraception.
• Will NOT interrupt an existing pregnancy (it is NOT an abortion pill).
• Does NOT protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Levonorgestrel can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Breast tenderness
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Changes to your next period (it may be earlier, later, or different than usual)

If you vomit within three hours of taking Levonorgestrel, you may need to take another dose. Consult a doctor or pharmacist immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or suspect you might be pregnant despite taking the pill.
