How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
Getting a prescription for EU-approved weight-loss medication through Hi-Doctor is straightforward and secure. No waiting rooms, no in-person visits, no video calls. Everything happens through a secure online questionnaire.
- Complete our secure medical questionnaire: This takes just 2–3 minutes. You provide essential health information and medical history.
- EU-licensed doctor reviews your case: An experienced, EU-licensed doctor individually assesses your information. They determine if an EU-approved weight-loss treatment is appropriate for you.
- Receive your valid electronic prescription in <24 hours: If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive a downloadable PDF valid electronic prescription (Spain's official digital standard) in your secure Hi-Doctor account and via email within 24 hours. The online consultation costs 45 € every 90 days or 35 € one-off. Money-back guarantee: if the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is fully refunded.
- Pick up at any EU pharmacy: Print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in Funchal, Portugal, or across any EU country. The valid electronic prescription is designed for EU-wide recognition under Directive 2011/24/EU. While Spanish pharmacies validate the QR through a central registry, in other EU countries, the pharmacist reviews the PDF and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse.
Who qualifies
Eligibility for EU-approved weight-loss medications depends on your individual health profile, as determined by an EU-licensed doctor. Generally, these medications are prescribed for adults with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m²) or overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m²) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol). Your medical questionnaire will help the doctor assess your suitability.
What EU-approved weight loss medication does
EU-approved medications effectively support weight loss. These often include GLP-1 receptor agonists. These medications work by:
- Slowing gastric emptying: This helps you feel fuller for longer.
- Reducing appetite: They act on brain receptors to decrease hunger and cravings.
- Improving blood sugar control: Beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes.
These mechanisms lead to significant and sustained weight reduction when used in conjunction with diet and exercise. Hi-Doctor provides consultations for EU-approved treatments only.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, EU-approved weight-loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can occur, which your doctor will discuss with you. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication.
You should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or any other concerning symptoms. The doctor reviewing your case will provide comprehensive guidance on when to stop treatment based on efficacy, side effects, and your overall health goals.
