Three steps to submit your request for medical review.
Select the reason for your request
The platform includes different clinical pathways for situations that can initially be assessed using a questionnaire. If you want to request an online prescription and are not sure which option is appropriate, it is better to book a video consultation.
Complete the medical questionnaire
Complete the medical questionnaire with information about your current symptoms, how long you have had them, previous conditions, allergies, treatments you use and any other relevant details. You can also specify the medication requested and attach medical documents. If you're looking for how to request prescriptions online, this is the first step in the process.
A registered doctor will review your request individually
They may decide that the information is sufficient, ask for additional details or recommend a video consultation. If they consider the prescription medically indicated, they will issue it in accordance with current regulations in Spain.
The review does not mean that a prescription will automatically be issued or that a treatment will be approved. An online consultation does not replace an in-person assessment when the doctor considers a physical examination or additional tests necessary.
Priority prescription review: what you need to know
Priority review allows a doctor to assess certain requests using a structured questionnaire. Each case is reviewed individually, and the decision depends exclusively on the doctor's clinical judgement.
What priority review is
Priority review is a medical assessment service designed for certain clinical situations in which a doctor can initially assess the information provided through a structured questionnaire.
It is not a sale of medication, automatic authorisation or a system for obtaining a prescription online without medical involvement. Each request is reviewed individually by a doctor, who decides whether prescribing is appropriate after assessing the symptoms, medical history, available documentation and applicable regulations.
When the clinical situation requires a more detailed interview, the doctor may recommend a video consultation before making a decision.
Benefits of requesting a prescription with Oladoctor
Oladoctor is a telemedicine platform that allows you to request a medical review without first attending an in-person consultation when the case can be assessed through a clinical questionnaire.
The main benefits of the service include:
- Complete a request in just a few minutes from anywhere in Spain.
- Individual review by a registered doctor.
- A prescription can be issued only when the doctor considers it medically indicated.
- Electronic issuance in accordance with current regulations.
- Individual clinical assessment before any decision is made.
- Clear information about the review process before you submit your request.
- A refund when a request is not approved, in accordance with the terms published on the platform.
If you need a medical assessment for one of the available pathways, you can submit your request from anywhere in Spain. The doctor will review your case individually and decide whether a prescription can be issued, a video consultation should be recommended, or another care option is more appropriate for your clinical situation.
Which conditions can be assessed for an online prescription
Priority review is available for a selection of non-urgent health concerns and certain medication-related requests that can be assessed through telemedicine when sufficient clinical information is available.
The available conditions are shown on the platform. Availability will depend on the reason for the request, the medication requested, your medical history and other clinical factors.
Not every situation can be managed through this service. Some treatments, certain medications or newly developed symptoms require a more detailed assessment by video call or specific follow-up with the relevant specialist.
What information the doctor reviews
Before deciding whether a prescription can be issued, the doctor carries out an individual assessment of all the information provided with the request.
In addition to your current symptoms, they will review how long the problem has been present, your medical history, chronic conditions, known allergies, medications you regularly use and any relevant contraindications or interactions. They may also consider medical reports, test results or previous prescriptions.
It is essential to complete the questionnaire with full and accurate information. If important details are missing or there are questions about your medical situation, the doctor may request additional information or recommend a different type of consultation.
When a request may be declined
Not every request results in a prescription. The doctor retains full clinical independence and may decline the request if they consider that issuing a prescription would be unsafe or not medically justified.
A request may not be approved if the information provided is insufficient, there are possible contraindications, the requested medication is not appropriate for the symptoms described, or the case requires a physical examination, additional tests or an in-person assessment.
In other situations, the doctor may recommend a video consultation to obtain additional information. Prescription requests in Spain are subject to the doctor's clinical assessment and current regulations. If a request is not approved, any refund will be processed in accordance with the terms published on the platform.
Electronic prescription valid in Spain
When the doctor considers prescribing medically indicated, they will issue an electronic prescription in accordance with Spanish legislation and the clinical judgement applicable to the individual case.
The digital prescription is issued by a doctor registered in Spain and can be used at Spanish pharmacies in accordance with the terms of the private electronic prescribing system. Its validity will depend on the medication prescribed, the clinical situation and the doctor's decision.
The medication is not included in the service and must be purchased separately at the pharmacy.
When a video consultation is necessary
In some cases, the medical questionnaire does not provide enough information for a responsible clinical assessment. When this happens, the doctor may recommend a video consultation before deciding whether a prescription can be issued.
This may happen when symptoms are new or more severe, there is uncertainty about the diagnosis, risks need to be assessed, additional test results need to be reviewed, or further questions are required during the medical interview.
If your aim is to get an online prescription, it is important to remember that the doctor's priority will always be to carry out a safe assessment. Having a video consultation also does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued.
The difference between requesting a prescription and renewing treatment
Priority review is intended to assess requests related to the conditions available within this service and determine whether a prescription can be issued after the medical questionnaire has been reviewed.
If you need to continue a previously prescribed and stable treatment, Oladoctor offers a separate prescription renewal service designed for these situations, with a different assessment process.
Keeping the two services separate allows each request to follow the most appropriate clinical process and ensures the doctor has the information needed to make a well-founded decision.
