Electronic prescription

Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) online from an EU-licensed doctor if you are in Nantes. Hi-Doctor provides a fast, secure, and compliant way to assess your condition. For a flat fee of 35 €, you can have your case reviewed and, if appropriate, receive an electronic prescription in under 24 hours; if the doctor approves, the prescription goes through France's own prescription system, and the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense (possibly a locally marketed equivalent).
How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire: This takes just 2–3 minutes. You provide your medical history and current symptoms. You also pay the 35 € consultation fee at this stage.
- Doctor review and money-back guarantee: A licensed EU doctor individually reviews your case through the secure online platform. If the doctor determines that treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
- Receive your prescription: If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) directly in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours of your case review.
- Collect your medication: Print the PDF file or show it on your phone. Present it at a pharmacy in France, including those in Nantes, to collect your prescribed medication. The pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense; they may dispense a locally marketed equivalent.
Who qualifies for treatment
Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider treatment for patients with symptoms of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis). The doctor will review your medical history and current symptoms through the online questionnaire to ensure any prescribed medication is safe and appropriate. This includes checking for:
- Typical UTI symptoms like painful urination, frequent urination, and urgency.
- Absence of fever, back pain, or other signs of a kidney infection (pyelonephritis).
- No history of allergies to common UTI medications.
- No pre-existing kidney disease or other significant health conditions that would contraindicate treatment.
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- This service is not for male UTIs, recurrent UTIs, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
What Nitrofurantoin actually does (and doesn't do)
Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that works by targeting and eliminating the bacteria causing the infection in the urinary tract. It is specifically effective against many common bacteria responsible for uncomplicated UTIs.
- Effectiveness: Nitrofurantoin is highly effective against common bacteria that cause uncomplicated UTIs.
- Onset of action: You may start to feel relief from symptoms within a day or two of starting treatment, but it's crucial to complete the full course as prescribed to eradicate the infection and prevent recurrence.
- Limitations: Nitrofurantoin is not effective for infections outside the urinary tract and should not be used for complicated UTIs or kidney infections.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Nitrofurantoin can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and headache. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, but rare, side effects can include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), or other severe systemic reactions.
When to stop and seek immediate medical attention:
- Severe allergic reaction symptoms (difficulty breathing, severe rash).
- Persistent or worsening fever, chills, or back pain (signs of a kidney infection).
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).
- Unusual bleeding or bruising.
Always follow your doctor's instructions and consult them if you experience any concerning side effects.
