Hi-Doctor makes it simple to access an EU-licensed doctor who can assess your case and, if appropriate, issue a prescription for weight loss medication. Our online consultation for €25 every 28 days (cancel anytime) or €35 one-off means you can get a valid, downloadable prescription in under 24 hours, accepted at any pharmacy across the European Union. It's fast, convenient, and completely risk-free – if the doctor determines the treatment is not right for you, your fee is refunded.

How it works: get your weight loss medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire: Complete a brief, secure medical questionnaire in just 2–3 minutes. This provides the doctor with essential information about your health history. You also pay the consultation fee of €25 every 28 days or €35 one-off at this step.
2. Doctor reviews your case: An EU-licensed doctor privately reviews your submitted information. They carefully assess your medical history and current health status. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk, you pay nothing.
3. Receive your prescription: If approved, you get a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and via email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard.
4. Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland) to collect your prescribed medication.

Who qualifies for weight loss medication

Our EU-licensed doctors determine if weight loss medication is appropriate for you based on specific medical criteria. Generally, they look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will assess your full medical history, including any existing conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking, to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your individual needs. Certain contraindications may prevent prescription, which the doctor will explain during their review.

What weight loss medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Many effective weight loss medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide or tirzepatide), work by mimicking natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite and food intake. They help you feel fuller for longer, reduce cravings, and slow down stomach emptying. This can lead to a significant reduction in calorie intake, resulting in weight loss. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to support your weight loss journey, not a magic bullet. They are most effective when combined with healthy lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Realistic timelines for noticeable weight loss typically extend over several months, with consistent progress rather than instant results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, weight loss treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when starting the medication or increasing the dose. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts. Your doctor will provide guidance on managing these. More serious side effects are rare, but it's crucial to be aware of them. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms, contact a healthcare professional immediately. The doctor will advise you on when it might be necessary to stop the medication, which could be due to persistent severe side effects, lack of efficacy, or reaching your weight loss goals.
