Telemedicine for ED: Is Online Treatment Right for You?

Yes, you can get an ED medication prescription online from an EU-licensed doctor without an in-person visit. Hi-Doctor makes it simple and discreet. For just €25, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, issues a prescription within 24 hours. This prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU, so you can easily collect your medication.

How it works — get your ED medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee. This detailed form helps our doctors understand your health history.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our EU-licensed doctors individually assess your information. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk to you.
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.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Your REMPE prescription is valid at pharmacies in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, and more, under cross-border prescription directive 2011/24/EU.

Who qualifies for ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors meticulously review your medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions to determine if ED medication is safe and appropriate for you. Factors like cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and other medications you are taking are carefully considered. The doctor looks for a clear medical need for ED treatment, while also ensuring there are no contraindications that could pose a risk to your health.

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

ED medications, such as sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis), belong to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually stimulated. These medications do not cause an erection on their own; sexual arousal is still required. They typically start working within 30-60 minutes and their effects can last from several hours up to 36 hours, depending on the specific medication. It's important to have realistic expectations: ED medication helps improve erectile function, but it doesn't cure the underlying cause of ED, nor does it guarantee sexual performance.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common side effects may include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances (especially with sildenafil). More serious, though rare, side effects can include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than four hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if your erection lasts longer than four hours, you should seek immediate medical attention and stop taking the medication. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will discuss potential side effects and contraindications with you during your consultation.
