Looking to get your Erectile Dysfunction medication prescription online? You've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case and, if appropriate, issue a prescription for ED medication online. Our process is fast, discreet, and convenient: a €25 online consultation, a prescription issued within 24 hours (if approved), and valid at any pharmacy across the EU. No risk — if the doctor determines the treatment is not suitable, you get your money back.

How it works: get your ED medication prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €35 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, your €35 is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid 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 and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for ED medication

Erectile Dysfunction medications like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil, and avanafil are commonly prescribed. When you complete your online medical questionnaire, our EU-licensed doctors will assess several factors to determine if these medications are safe and appropriate for you. They will look for:

  • Your medical history, including any cardiovascular conditions, liver or kidney problems, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
  • A list of all other medications you are currently taking, especially nitrates (often used for chest pain), alpha-blockers, or other drugs that could interact negatively with ED medication.
  • Your general health status and any contraindications that would make these treatments unsafe.

The doctor's primary goal is your safety and ensuring the treatment is effective for your specific situation.

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

ED medications, known as PDE5 inhibitors, work by increasing blood flow to the penis. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. Different medications have different onset times and durations:

  • Sildenafil (Viagra): Typically taken 30 minutes to an hour before sexual activity, effects last 4–6 hours.
  • Tadalafil (Cialis): Can be effective for up to 36 hours (earning it the nickname 'the weekend pill') and can also be prescribed for daily, low-dose use.
  • Vardenafil and Avanafil: Similar to sildenafil in onset and duration, but may suit some individuals better in terms of side effects.

It's important to understand that these medications do not create sexual desire; they only assist in the physical process of achieving an erection when you are already aroused. They are not a cure for ED but a management tool.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, ED medications can have side effects. Common ones include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than four hours (priapism). If you experience any of these serious symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Our EU-licensed doctors will discuss potential side effects during your consultation. If side effects persist or become bothersome, it's crucial to inform your doctor, who may adjust your dose or suggest an alternative treatment. Never adjust your dosage without medical advice.
