💊 How Doctors Make Prescription Decisions
Learn whether you can receive a prescription for a specific medication and how a doctor makes the decision.
⚖ How Prescription Decisions Work
Prescriptions are issued only at the discretion of the doctor during the consultation. Doctors make clinical decisions independently based on:
- your request and symptoms;
- your medical information and history;
- current clinical guidelines.
🩺 What the Doctor Considers Before Prescribing
Even if you have used the medication before, the doctor must:
- assess your current condition;
- ensure the medication is still appropriate;
- rule out any contraindications;
- comply with the legal requirements of the country where you are located.
📦 Prescriptions for Multiple Packages
In some cases, the doctor may issue a prescription for a treatment course including multiple packages. The amount and duration depend on the clinical situation, your condition, and local regulations. The final decision is made by the doctor during the consultation.
🧑⚕ Choosing the Right Doctor
If you want to discuss a specific medication, choose the relevant specialist:
- Psychotropic and psychiatric medications → see a psychiatrist
- Everyday complaints (cold, headache, cystitis, etc.) → express consultation with a general practitioner
- Other cases → select the appropriate specialist on the “Doctors” page
🌐 Types of Consultation
- 💻 Online Consultation:
A secure video appointment with a certified doctor. Discuss your symptoms, upload medical documents, and receive recommendations or prescriptions without leaving home. - 🏥 Offline Consultation:
A face-to-face appointment with a doctor registered in the EuroMedClinic marketplace. Allows for a more hands-on examination and in-depth assessment.
Both formats follow the same clinical and legal standards. You choose the type of consultation based on your needs and the doctor’s availability.
🔄 Refund Policy if No Prescription Is Issued
If you booked an online or offline consultation:
If during the appointment the doctor decides that prescribing a medication is inappropriate or impossible, no refund will be issued.
Online and offline consultations are medical services. The doctor is compensated for their time and professional evaluation — regardless of whether a prescription is issued.
📝 What to Provide to the Doctor for Prescription Decisions
To help the doctor make an informed clinical decision, it is recommended to provide in advance:
- your current symptoms and health status;
- information about previous diagnoses and prescriptions;
- any changes, side effects, or reactions to medications.
This helps the doctor better understand your request and determine whether prescribing is appropriate within medical standards and the legislation of your country.
❗Important
EuroMedClinic is a marketplace, not a medical organization. All clinical decisions are made exclusively by the doctor conducting the consultation
Documents (prescriptions, medical certificates, referrals) are issued only when medically indicated and in accordance with the laws of the country where the consultation with the doctor takes place.
EuroMedClinic does not influence prescriptions and does not guarantee that a specific medication will be issued.
