Need a medication prescription online in Spain, or anywhere in the EU? Hi-Doctor connects you with a licensed EU doctor to get the treatment you need, without the hassle of clinic visits. Our online consultation service makes it simple: for just €25, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, issues a REMPE electronic prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, and more.

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 determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, 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.
  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

Eligibility for any medication is determined by our EU-licensed doctors after a thorough review of your medical questionnaire. They assess factors such as your medical history, current health status, and other relevant criteria to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you. For instance, medications for weight management often consider your BMI and any existing health conditions.

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

Our doctors will explain the mechanism of action for any prescribed medication in plain language. You'll understand how it works, what realistic results to expect, and any limitations. For example, GLP-1 medications work by mimicking natural hormones to regulate appetite and blood sugar, but they are most effective when combined with lifestyle changes. We believe in informed consent and setting realistic expectations from the start.

Side effects and when to stop

Before any prescription is issued, the doctor will discuss potential side effects associated with the medication. Common side effects are generally mild and temporary, but it's crucial to be aware of them. You'll also receive clear instructions on red flags that indicate you should stop the medication and seek medical advice. Our goal is to ensure your treatment journey is as safe and comfortable as possible.
