Remote Patient Monitoring: The Future of Healthcare

While remote patient monitoring offers exciting advancements in healthcare, you're likely here for one thing: to get your prescription for weight management medication like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro online. Yes, you can get a prescription for these medications through a licensed EU doctor, and Hi-Doctor makes it simple and fast. For just €25, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, issues an official REMPE electronic prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is valid at any pharmacy in the EU, meaning you can pick up your medication in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, or any other EU country.

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

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee. This confidential form gathers the necessary medical information for the doctor to assess your case.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk, 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 across the EU.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. The pharmacist can scan the QR code or verify the prescription details.

Who qualifies for weight management medication like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient's medical history and current health status. Generally, these medications are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will look for suitability based on official guidelines and your individual health profile. Certain contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a history of pancreatitis, will prevent prescription.

What these medications actually do (and don't do)

Medications like Wegovy, Ozempic (semaglutide), and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This leads to reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and slower stomach emptying, which helps you eat less and lose weight. These are not 'magic pills'; they are most effective when used in conjunction with lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic weight loss timelines vary, but studies show significant and sustained weight reduction over several months to a year, not instant results.

Side effects and when to stop

As with any medication, GLP-1 agonists can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing dosage. These usually subside over time. Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. The doctor will advise you on when to stop the medication if side effects are unmanageable or if the treatment is no longer appropriate.
