Traveling with ED Medication: How to Continue Treatment

Planning to travel in the EU and need to continue your ED medication? You can get your ED medication prescription online from an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor. Avoid interruptions to your treatment and the hassle of finding a local clinic. Our process is simple: an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, issues a prescription in under 24 hours. The consultation is just €25, and the prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU.

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.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk.
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 ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors individually assess each case to ensure ED medication is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions or medications that could interact with ED treatments. Common ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are generally suitable for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction who do not have severe cardiovascular issues, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or are taking nitrate medications. Your online questionnaire helps the doctor determine if these treatments are right for you, ensuring your safety and treatment effectiveness. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 fee is refunded.

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

ED medications, such as sildenafil and tadalafil, are known as PDE5 inhibitors. They work by relaxing the muscles in your penis and increasing blood flow, which helps you achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually aroused. These medications do not cause an erection automatically; sexual stimulation is still required. Sildenafil typically works within 30-60 minutes and lasts for about 4-6 hours, while tadalafil has a longer effect, lasting up to 36 hours. They are effective for most men with ED, but they are not a cure for underlying causes of erectile dysfunction. Their purpose is to enable an erection when needed, not to permanently resolve the condition.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances (especially with sildenafil). Less common but more serious side effects can include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and contraindications during your consultation, ensuring you understand when to discontinue use or seek further advice.
