Picture this: You’re finally on that dream trip to Europe, having the time of your life, when suddenly you run into a health issue and need a specific medication. It’s a hassle you never expected, but knowing how to handle prescription meds abroad can save the day.
Even though it might seem like a maze of red tape, Altheum makes it super easy to get the meds you need—whether it’s something you use all the time or just an occasional need.
Can tourists even buy prescription meds?
In Europe, the rules for controlled medications are pretty strict. You’ll need a prescription from a doctor who’s licensed in the country where you need to talk to a local specialist.
The Challenges of Traveling or Living Abroad
Getting medical help in a foreign country isn’t always straightforward. Differences in healthcare systems, language barriers, long waits for appointments, and high costs for in-person visits can all make things tougher than they need to be. But that’s where telemedicine comes in handy.
How Altheum Makes It Work
Altheum’s telemedicine service lets you connect with a doctor in the country you’re visiting—right from your hotel room. They’ll evaluate your situation, prescribe the necessary medication, and issue a valid prescription that works with local pharmacies. Plus, you can chat in your own language, so there’s no stress about miscommunication.
Here’s How It Works:
- Jump on our platform and schedule a consultation or request an emergency appointment.
- Connect with a licensed doctor online.
- Get your electronic prescription sent to your email or directly to the pharmacy.
- Head to a local pharmacy, pick up your medication, and you’re all set.
What Kinds of Meds Are We Talking About?
From antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and allergy meds to treatments for chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes—and even mental health medications—there’s a wide range of options. Just keep in mind that some highly regulated drugs, like prescription pain killers, might still require an in-person check-up or have extra rules depending on the country.
