For a flat fee of 35 €, you can have your case reviewed and potentially receive a prescription for Nitrofurantoin within 24 hours, valid for presentation at any EU pharmacy.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee securely.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — there's 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. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse dispensing.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Nitrofurantoin primarily for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. The doctor reviews your medical questionnaire for typical symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urges, and lower abdominal discomfort. They also assess your medical history for any conditions that might make Nitrofurantoin unsuitable, such as kidney disease, certain blood disorders, or known allergies. This ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for your specific health profile.

What Nitrofurantoin actually does (and doesn't do)

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract. It works by preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying in the bladder and urine. Most patients experience relief from symptoms within 24–48 hours of starting treatment. However, it is crucial to complete the full course of medication as prescribed, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared and prevent recurrence. Nitrofurantoin is not effective against viral infections, nor is it typically used for complicated UTIs, kidney infections (pyelonephritis), or male UTIs.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Nitrofurantoin can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and headache. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious but rare side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, or lung issues. You should stop taking Nitrofurantoin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, persistent fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or severe abdominal pain. Always follow your doctor's advice and read the patient information leaflet.
