What is cytisine used for?

Cytisine, also called cytisinicline, is a stop-smoking medicine that acts on nicotine receptors. Availability and authorised regimens differ across Europe.

How is cytisine taken?

It is taken on a tapering schedule over several weeks while smoking is stopped early in the course. Follow the exact pack and prescriber instructions.

What side effects can cytisine cause?

Nausea, dry mouth, sleep disturbance, headache and changes in heart rate or blood pressure can occur. Persistent or severe symptoms need review.

What does the doctor check before prescribing cytisine?

The doctor checks pregnancy or breastfeeding, recent cardiovascular events, rhythm or blood-pressure problems, kidney or liver disease and other stop-smoking medicines.

Can I get a consultation for Cytisine from Bologna?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Bologna you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid in any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

What does a Hi-Doctor doctor review in an online consultation?

Your clinical history, current medication, allergies, relevant family history and the goals you share in the questionnaire. Everything through the private chat in your account — no WhatsApp, no SMS. The doctor decides if the case is eligible and explains it in less than 4 hours on average.

What is the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

How does Hi-Doctor work step by step?

1) Fill in an online medical questionnaire in about 4 minutes. 2) The plan is €25/month for weight loss or €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth; sexual health is €35 per consultation and a skin consultation is €40. 3) An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and, if appropriate, issues an electronic prescription. 4) Collect it at any EU pharmacy. If the review is not approved, the applicable fee is refunded in full.

How much does it cost and what does the price include?

The plan is €25/month for weight loss or €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth; a one-off sexual-health consultation is €35 and a skin consultation — acne, rosacea, melasma, ageing skin — is €40. Each includes a licensed doctor's review and an electronic prescription if approved. If the review is not approved, the applicable fee is refunded in full. Medication is paid for separately at the pharmacy at the price it sets.
