How it works — get your ADHD medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill out a short online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable 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 your medication.

Who qualifies for ADHD treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each case to ensure appropriate treatment. What the doctor looks for includes a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD, a review of your medical history, and current medications. The doctor will determine if ADHD medication is suitable and safe for your specific condition.

What ADHD medication actually does (and doesn't do)

ADHD medications, such as stimulants (e.g., methylphenidate, amphetamine) and non-stimulants (e.g., atomoxetine), primarily work by affecting neurotransmitters in your brain, like dopamine and norepinephrine. This helps improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and manage hyperactivity. While these medications can significantly alleviate symptoms, they are most effective when combined with other strategies like behavioral therapy and lifestyle adjustments. They do not 'cure' ADHD but help manage its symptoms, allowing you to function more effectively in daily life.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ADHD treatments can have side effects. Common ones include appetite loss, sleep problems, headaches, and stomachaches. Some individuals may experience increased heart rate or blood pressure. It's crucial to discuss any side effects with your doctor. If you experience severe side effects or concerning symptoms, contact a healthcare professional immediately. Your Hi-Doctor will guide you on when to consider stopping or adjusting your medication, always prioritising your safety and well-being.
