Are you looking to get a Vitaros prescription online in Lyon? Yes, you can obtain Vitaros through a licensed EU doctor without an in-person clinic visit. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed medical professionals who review your case online for just €35. If appropriate, you receive a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours, accepted at any pharmacy across the EU, including in Lyon.

How it works: get your Vitaros 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 determines 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 Vitaros.

Who qualifies for Vitaros

To determine if Vitaros is suitable for you, a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed physician will assess your medical history and current health status through your online questionnaire. They look for specific criteria, including a diagnosis of erectile dysfunction and the absence of certain contraindications. The doctor ensures Vitaros is safe and effective for your individual needs before issuing a prescription.

What Vitaros actually does (and doesn't do)

Vitaros is a topical cream containing alprostadil, a prostaglandin E1 analogue. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection. You apply it directly to the tip of the penis. Vitaros is designed to provide a local effect, typically working within 5 to 30 minutes. It does not provide immediate or guaranteed results for everyone and is not a cure for the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction. It also does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Vitaros can cause side effects. Common side effects include local pain, redness, burning, or itching in the penis. More rarely, you might experience dizziness, fainting, or swelling. If you experience a prolonged erection (priapism) lasting more than 4 hours, severe pain, or any other serious or unexpected reactions, you should seek immediate medical attention and stop using the medication. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss potential side effects and when to discontinue use if prescribed.
