If treatment is appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is designed for EU-wide recognition, and you can present it at any EU pharmacy. The online consultation costs a flat 35 €.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee. This secure form collects your medical history and current symptoms.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our doctors individually assess your information. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account within 24 hours. You will receive an email notification when it's ready. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard.
  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, but many will dispense a locally marketed equivalent.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Nitrofurantoin for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. The doctor reviews your medical history and symptoms to ensure it's the right course of action. They look for typical symptoms of cystitis, such as:

  • Pain or burning sensation during urination
  • Frequent urination
  • Urgent need to urinate
  • Lower abdominal discomfort
  • Cloudy or strong-smelling urine

The doctor will assess for any contraindications or factors that suggest a more complicated infection, such as fever, back pain, or male gender, which would require a different approach. Nitrofurantoin is not prescribed for complicated UTIs, kidney infections, or STIs.

What Nitrofurantoin actually does (and doesn't do)

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract. It works by preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying in the urine. It is highly effective against many common bacteria that cause UTIs.

Most patients experience symptom relief within a few days of starting treatment. It's crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared. Nitrofurantoin does not treat viral infections, fungal infections, or STIs.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Nitrofurantoin can cause side effects. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach upset, and headache. These are usually mild and temporary.

More serious, but rare, side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, or lung problems. You should stop taking Nitrofurantoin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Severe allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing)
  • Persistent or severe nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
  • Dark urine or pale stools
  • Unexplained fever, chills, or persistent cough
