How the prescribing process works

Getting treatment involves four clear steps, each designed to keep you safe.

01

Online health questionnaire

A structured questionnaire about your symptoms, history, current medicines and lifestyle. Encrypted and confidential.

5 minutes
02

Doctor review

An EU-licensed doctor reviews your answers, checks for red flags and decides whether treatment is clinically appropriate.

Under 2 hours
03

Your treatment plan

If appropriate, you receive an e-prescription and clear written instructions: dose, what to expect and when to check back.

Same day
04

Collect at your pharmacy

Present your e-prescription at any EU pharmacy. You pay the pharmacy for the medicine.

Why we sometimes say no

A doctor's review is a real safeguard, not a formality. If a request is declined, the doctor explains why and suggests what to do next. We refund your fee.

A medical condition that makes the treatment unsafe, for example certain heart conditions with ED medicines.

Current medicines that could interact dangerously with the requested treatment.

Symptoms suggesting a more serious problem that needs in-person care.

A request for a dose or quantity outside safe clinical guidelines.
