Addyi is a sexual health medicine, but it is not one Hi-Doctor’s doctors prescribe as a first-line option. When a case touches Addyi, the doctor reviews the questionnaire and offers EU-authorised sexual health alternatives instead — a decision made case by case, never automatically. Although Addyi is associated with sexual health, it is not the first-line medicine prescribed on Hi-Doctor — the alternatives offered carry robust clinical evidence and EMA authorisation.

Why Hi-Doctor doesn’t prescribe Addyi

Although Addyi is associated with sexual health, it is not the first-line medicine Hi-Doctor’s doctors prescribe. The alternatives offered instead carry robust clinical evidence and EMA authorisation.
A licensed doctor decides case by case. Hi-Doctor never prescribes without an evaluation — and if none of the alternatives below is safe for a case, the doctor says so at no cost.

​
Available treatment options

The doctor reviews a case and chooses between the options below, ruling out cardiovascular and other contraindications first.

Sildenafil (Viagra)

A phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor. The doctor assesses it after ruling out cardiovascular contraindications.

Tadalafil 10/20mg

A long-acting PDE5 inhibitor, available in low doses for daily use or higher doses on demand. See the Tadalafil page for the full evidence and side-effect profile.

Vardenafil 5/10/20mg

An alternative within the same class, sometimes better tolerated depending on the patient’s profile.

Avanafil 50/100/200mg

A faster-acting PDE5 inhibitor. An option for selected patients based on medical judgement.

Alprostadil (Vitaros)

A topical option for patients who don’t respond to PDE5 inhibitors or have contraindications to them. The doctor assesses suitability.
Medication is paid for separately at the pharmacy of the patient’s choice — Hi-Doctor does not sell or ship medications. See pricing for what the consultation itself covers.

Sexual health consultation

Answer the sexual health questionnaire and a registered doctor reviews it. They decide whether treatment is appropriate, which one, and at what dose — and declining is a normal outcome. See what it costs and how the review works.
This page is reference information, not medical advice and not a prescription. Whether a medicine is appropriate for you is decided by a registered doctor after reviewing your consultation.
