Every case is reviewed by an EU-licensed doctor.
Electronic prescription

Are you looking to get a prescription for a specific medication online in France? Good news: you can. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your case individually. For just €25, you can complete an online consultation and, if appropriate, receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours. This prescription is accepted at any pharmacy across the EU, including France, Spain, Portugal, and Germany, making your access to medication simple and fast.
How it works – get your prescription in 4 steps
- Fill out the online medical questionnaire (takes 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 you, your €25 is refunded automatically – no risk.
- 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 – present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.
Who qualifies for an online prescription
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine eligibility. They consider your medical history, current health status, and the specific medication you are requesting. The doctor's primary goal is to ensure your safety and that the treatment is appropriate for your condition. This individual review process is key to providing responsible and effective telemedicine services.
What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Understanding your medication is crucial. For example, if you are seeking a GLP-1 medication for weight management, it works by mimicking natural hormones to regulate appetite and blood sugar. These medications are not instant solutions; they are part of a broader treatment plan typically including diet and exercise. They help manage chronic conditions but do not 'cure' them. Your Hi-Doctor will provide specific information relevant to your prescription, ensuring you have realistic expectations about its effects and limitations.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, those prescribed via telemedicine can have side effects. Common side effects are generally mild and temporary. Your doctor will discuss potential side effects relevant to your specific medication. It is important to report any severe or persistent side effects immediately. Always follow your doctor's instructions on when and how to stop taking any medication. If you experience adverse reactions, contact your doctor or local emergency services.
