You need a prescription for your medication, and you want it fast, from a licensed doctor, without the hassle of clinic visits. You've landed in the right place. Hi Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case online. If appropriate, you get a prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy across the EU. The consultation fee is a flat €25, and if the doctor determines the treatment is not suitable for you, your money is refunded automatically. It’s a no-risk way to get your medication.
How it works: get your medication prescription in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
- A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
- If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.
Who qualifies for the medication
Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. They assess your medical history, current health status, and other relevant factors. Generally, the doctor looks for specific eligibility criteria, which may include your BMI (for GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide), any existing health conditions, and medications you are currently taking. Some contraindications may prevent a prescription if the treatment poses a health risk.
What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)
This medication works by targeting specific pathways in your body to achieve its intended effect. For example, GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide help regulate blood sugar, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite, which can lead to significant weight loss over time. It is important to understand that while effective, this medication is not a magic bullet. It supports your body's natural processes and works best when combined with lifestyle changes. Realistic timelines for results vary, and the medication's full effects unfold gradually over weeks or months.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, this treatment can have side effects. Common side effects might include nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Your doctor will discuss specific side effects with you during the review process. It is crucial to monitor your body's response and report any severe or persistent side effects to a healthcare professional immediately. You should stop taking the medication and seek urgent medical advice if you experience red flag symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or signs of an allergic reaction.
