Looking to get your medication prescription online in Germany? Yes, you can. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your case and, if appropriate, issue a valid electronic prescription. This means you can get the medication you need without the clinic visit, often within 24 hours. The consultation is just €25, and your prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU.
How it works — get your prescription in 4 steps
- Fill out the online medical questionnaire: It takes 2–3 minutes to provide your health details. Then, pay the €25 consultation fee.
- Doctor review & money-back guarantee: An EU-licensed doctor privately reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically. You pay nothing if the doctor says no.
- Receive your valid electronic prescription: If approved, you get a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
- Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.
Who qualifies for online doctor consultations in Germany
Our EU-licensed doctors evaluate each case individually. They look at your medical history, current health status, and any contraindications to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. Factors like your age, other conditions, and specific requirements for the medication (e.g., BMI for GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide) are all considered. The doctor's decision is final and based on established medical guidelines, ensuring your safety and well-being.
What online doctor consultations actually do (and don't do)
Online doctor consultations provide a convenient pathway to medical assessment and prescription issuance for suitable conditions. They allow you to discuss your symptoms and health concerns with a licensed doctor from anywhere, receiving a professional opinion and, if appropriate, a prescription. However, they are not a substitute for emergency care or in-person physical examinations required for complex diagnoses. Our service focuses on follow-up care, chronic condition management, and specific medication prescriptions where a physical exam isn't strictly necessary for safe prescribing.

Side effects and when to stop
All medications carry potential side effects. During your online consultation, the doctor will discuss common side effects associated with your prescribed treatment and what to expect. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and be aware of any red flags that might indicate a serious reaction. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if your condition worsens, you should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Your safety is paramount, and open communication with your doctor is key.
