Online Doctor Consultations for Weight Loss in the EU

Looking to get a weight loss medication prescription online in the EU? You can. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your case individually. If appropriate, you receive a valid digital prescription in under 24 hours. The cost for this online consultation is a flat €25, and your prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU.

How it works — get your weight loss medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee. This provides the doctor with your essential health information.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard, recognised EU-wide.
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 the medication

When you complete the medical questionnaire, an EU-licensed doctor assesses your eligibility. They look for specific criteria, including your Body Mass Index (BMI) for GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Mounjaro, and any contraindications. Generally, these medications are considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure). The doctor will also check for conditions that might make the medication unsuitable, such as a history of certain thyroid cancers or pancreatitis. Your safety is the priority.

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

Weight loss medications like GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide) work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and can lead to significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. It's important to understand these medications are tools to support weight loss, not magic bullets. Realistic timelines show gradual, sustained weight loss over several months, not overnight results. They are most effective as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes diet and exercise.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These often improve over time. Your doctor will provide guidance on managing these. It's crucial to stop the medication and seek medical advice immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. The Hi-Doctor platform allows for private, RGPD-compliant chat with your doctor to discuss any concerns.
