Online Medical Questionnaires: A Modern Approach to Healthcare

Looking to get your medication prescription online in Spain, or anywhere else in the EU? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case and, if appropriate, issue a digital prescription for your medication. The entire process is fast, confidential, and happens online. For just €25, you can complete a medical questionnaire, get a doctor's review, and receive your prescription in under 24 hours, ready to be filled at any pharmacy across the EU. No risk – if the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 fee is refunded.

How it works — get your medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (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, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (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 the medication.

Who qualifies for the medication

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each medical questionnaire to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. They assess your overall health, medical history, and any existing conditions or medications to determine eligibility. For weight management medications like GLP-1s (semaglutide, tirzepatide), doctors typically look for a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 30, or a BMI above 27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes). Certain contraindications, like a history of thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, will prevent a prescription. The doctor will always prioritise your safety and only prescribe if it's medically sound for your specific case.

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

The medication works by mimicking natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite and blood sugar. For example, GLP-1 agonists slow down gastric emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reduce food cravings. This can lead to significant weight loss over time when combined with diet and exercise. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to support your health journey, not magic bullets. Realistic timelines for noticeable effects vary; some patients report reduced appetite within weeks, while significant weight loss typically occurs over several months. The medication is most effective when part of a comprehensive health plan, and it does not replace the need for healthy lifestyle choices.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, these treatments can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when first starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions carefully. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms, you should contact a doctor immediately and may need to stop the medication. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide clear guidance on what to expect and when to seek further medical attention.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the doctor decides I'm not a candidate for the medication?

If the EU-licensed doctor determines that the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 consultation fee is refunded automatically. You pay nothing if the treatment isn't approved, ensuring a no-risk consultation.

Is the REMPE prescription valid outside Spain?

Yes, the REMPE prescription is Spain's official private electronic prescription standard. Under EU Directive 2011/24/EU, it is recognised EU-wide, meaning any EU pharmacy (in France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) can dispense from it. You receive a downloadable PDF you can print and present at the counter.

How do I actually collect the medication once I have the prescription?

Once you receive your REMPE electronic prescription as a PDF file, you can either print it or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the EU. The pharmacist will read the QR code or digital signature and dispense your medication.

Is it legal to get the medication online in my country?

Yes, it is legal to obtain your medication via an EU-licensed doctor who issues a valid REMPE prescription. This system operates entirely within EU cross-border healthcare directives, ensuring legality and safety for patients across the European Union.

How long does the prescription take?

After you complete your online medical questionnaire and pay the €25 consultation fee, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case. If approved, you will receive your REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. Hi-Doctor is fully RGPD-compliant. All your personal and medical information is handled with the strictest confidentiality, secured within your private in-app account. We never share your data without your explicit consent.

How much does it cost?

The online consultation fee is a flat €25. This covers the doctor's review of your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate, this fee is fully refunded. You only pay for the medication itself at the pharmacy.
