Telemedicine Across the EU: Your Cross-Border Prescription Rights
Searching for "medication prescription online in Spain" or wondering if you can get your medication from an EU-licensed doctor? The answer is yes. Hi-Doctor makes it simple and fast.

How it works — get your medication prescription in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.

- If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
- Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect the medication.
Who qualifies for medication
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure medication is safe and appropriate for you. They will assess your medical history, current health status, and any contraindications. For GLP-1 medications, for example, doctors typically look for a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 27 kg/m² with weight-related complications, or a BMI above 30 kg/m² without complications. The doctor will consider other factors, like your existing health conditions and other medications you are taking, to determine if this treatment is right for you.
What medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Medication, particularly GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide, works by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. This can lead to reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and slower digestion, which supports weight management. It's important to understand that medication is a tool to support your health journey, not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, and results vary. Realistic timelines mean gradual, sustainable progress, not overnight transformations.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, these can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts. However, more serious side effects are rare but possible. Your Hi-Doctor will inform you of all potential risks. You should stop the medication and consult a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. Always follow your doctor's instructions and never exceed the prescribed dose.
