Looking to get your medication prescription online in the Netherlands? You've come to the right place. With Hi-Doctor, you can access an EU-licensed doctor for a consultation, receive a valid prescription, and collect your medication at any pharmacy in the EU, including the Netherlands. Our process is simple: a flat €25 online consultation fee, a prescription issued in under 24 hours (if appropriate), and a money-back guarantee if the doctor determines the treatment is not right for you. It's safe, fast, and fully compliant with EU regulations.
How it works: get your medication prescription in 4 steps
- Fill out a short online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
- An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case privately. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 is refunded automatically, so there is 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 and present it at any pharmacy in the EU (including the Netherlands) to collect your medication.
Who qualifies for the medication
Our EU-licensed doctors individually review every case to ensure your safety and treatment effectiveness. They look for specific criteria, such as your medical history, current health status, and any potential contraindications. For certain medications, like GLP-1s for weight management, a specific Body Mass Index (BMI) might be required. The doctor will assess if the medication is appropriate for your specific health needs.
What the medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Understanding how your medication works is crucial. Our doctors provide clear, plain-language explanations of the medication's mechanism of action, realistic timelines for expected effects, and any limitations. We believe in medical honesty to build trust and ensure you have accurate expectations, reducing cancellations and promoting better health outcomes.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, there can be side effects. The doctor will explain typical side effects you might experience and provide clear guidance on red flags that indicate you should stop the medication and seek further medical advice. Your safety is our priority, and transparent information about potential side effects is a core part of our service.
