Understanding preventive health screenings is crucial for every man, especially when navigating how these insights connect to actionable health solutions. While physical screenings are conducted by local healthcare providers, Hi Doctor offers a seamless, online pathway to manage health issues identified during these screenings, such as weight management. You can get an online consultation with an EU-licensed doctor for just €25. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive an electronic prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy in the EU.
How it works: get your health risk management 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 for your specific health profile, your €25 is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
- 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 your medication.
Who qualifies for health risk management via Hi Doctor
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure treatment is safe and effective for you. For example, if you're seeking medication for weight management, the doctor evaluates your BMI, medical history, and any existing conditions or contraindications. This ensures that the prescribed treatment aligns with your overall health profile and the information gathered from your preventive screenings.
What health risk management medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Medications prescribed through Hi Doctor, such as those for weight management, work in specific ways to support your health goals. For example, GLP-1 agonists (like semaglutide or tirzepatide) help regulate appetite and blood sugar, leading to sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to support your health journey, not magic bullets. They work best as part of a comprehensive plan, and results vary. Our doctors provide clear guidance on realistic timelines and expected outcomes.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, those prescribed through Hi Doctor may have side effects. Our doctors will discuss common side effects, such as nausea or digestive issues, during your consultation. They will also advise you on red flags – symptoms that indicate you should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention. We believe in transparency and empowering you with all the necessary information to manage your health safely.
Why Hi Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
Choosing Hi Doctor for managing your health risks, particularly those identified by preventive screenings, offers significant advantages:
- Speed: Get a prescription in under 24 hours vs. weeks for an in-person appointment.
