The twelve categories
What each of those costs is on Pricing.
Weight loss
The questionnaire covers your height and weight, medical history, current medication and previous weight-loss treatment. Body mass index is calculated from your answers and is part of the eligibility decision — treatment is not offered below the clinical threshold. Additional questions appear depending on your answers: for example, if your BMI falls in a particular band you are asked about related conditions, and if you have taken a weight-loss medication before you are asked which one and at what dose. Offered as an ongoing plan by default, or as a one-time consultation with no subscription. See Pricing.Hair loss
Covers the pattern and history of hair loss, scalp condition, allergies and medical history. Some questions are shown only where relevant — for example pregnancy-related questions are asked only of female patients. Offered as a 90-day ongoing plan by default, or as a one-time consultation whose prescription covers 30 days of treatment. See Pricing.Sexual health
Covers symptoms, cardiovascular history, current medication and allergies. Certain answers rule treatment out entirely — for example nitrate medication, which interacts dangerously with some treatments. Sexual health and premature ejaculation are separate questionnaires. Both are one-off consultations.Sexual health and prevention
Four shorter pathways sit alongside the sexual-health consultation, each with its own questionnaire and each a one-off consultation:- Chlamydia — what it is and how it is treated
- Urinary tract infection — what it is and how it is treated
- Emergency contraception — what the options are
- HIV PrEP — what pre-exposure prophylaxis involves
Skin
Four dermatology pathways: acne, rosacea, melasma and anti-ageing. Each is a one-off consultation with its own questionnaire, and each asks for photographs of the affected skin.What a doctor may prescribe
Dermatology on Hi-Doctor is topical only. Everything a doctor can issue on these pathways is a cream or a gel applied to the skin.Acne
Acne
- Azelaic acid 15%
- Adapalene 0.1% with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%
- Clindamycin 1% with benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5%
Rosacea
Rosacea
- Azelaic acid 15%
- A compounded erythema cream — metronidazole 0.75%, niacinamide 4%, micronised azelaic acid 10% and allantoin 0.5%
- A compounded papulopustular gel — ivermectin 1%, metronidazole 0.75% and niacinamide 2%
Melasma
Melasma
- Hydroquinone 4%, as a cream or a gel
- A compounded combination formula — hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin 0.025%, kojic acid 2% and niacinamide 4%
Anti-ageing
Anti-ageing
- Tretinoin. 0.05% is the strength you can ask for; 0.025% and 0.1% are issued only where the reviewing doctor chooses them.
The photograph step
A skin questionnaire contains a photo-upload step that no other pathway has. The doctor is reading your skin from those images, so the upload is part of the clinical record rather than an extra.- Rosacea and melasma require a photograph. The questionnaire does not go forward without one.
- Acne and anti-ageing let you defer it. Choosing to send photographs later is allowed, and the consultation is flagged for the doctor as missing photographs.
- One photograph per upload step, as JPEG, PNG or WEBP, up to 20 MiB.
What is out of scope
What has been reported on these medicines is in side effects of topical skin treatment.What decides the outcome
Two things, in order:- Eligibility checks on submission. Contraindicated history, interacting medication, an out-of-range BMI, being under 18, or an unsupported country stop the questionnaire at submission.
- The doctor’s review. A registered doctor then reads the case and decides whether to prescribe, to prescribe something different, to ask a question, or to decline.
