The itch hit me hard, right in the middle of my dream vacation in Zakynthos. Scabies medicine in Zakynthos suddenly became a priority, not just an annoyance. The thought of navigating local clinics in a non-English-speaking country was daunting. And let's be honest, Greek medical terms might as well have been ancient Greek to me.

The frustration started to build as I considered all the time I’d waste finding a local doctor and the potential miscommunications. I needed a quick fix, not a day spent in waiting rooms. That’s when I remembered hearing about Doctorsa from a fellow traveler.

Opening the app was a breeze. In minutes, I was chatting with Dr. Alvarez, an English-speaking doctor who immediately understood my concerns. She was super supportive and responsive, which was a huge relief. She explained how to get rid of scabies fast and sent a prescription my way.

Not only did I dodge a potential language barrier disaster, but I also saved a good chunk on medical expenses. Plus, knowing I had a free 7-day chat follow-up was a comforting safety net. Thanks to Doctorsa, I was back to exploring the island itch-free and with peace of mind.

Your questions answered

Getting medicine for scabies in Zakynthos can be straightforward with Doctorsa. Instead of navigating healthcare in Greece, you can connect with a licensed English-speaking doctor online through our telehealth platform in minutes. They’ll assess your symptoms via a virtual consultation and, if appropriate, provide a digital prescription you can use at a local pharmacy. It’s fast, hassle-free, and designed for people who need urgent care without the stress. Experience the convenience of telemedicine with Doctorsa today and get the care you need right from your smartphone!

The rules for getting this medication can differ from place to place. If you’re not sure about the specifics in Greece, it’s a good idea to speak with a doctor for accurate information and guidance. If you need to get the medication right away, you can easily talk to an English-speaking doctor online through Doctorsa. They can answer your questions and get you a prescription quickly, if needed.

It’s very unlikely that scabies will go away on its own. In most cases, these conditions require treatment, and delaying care can lead to complications. With Doctorsa, you can quickly speak with an English-speaking doctor, get the treatment you need, and have prescriptions sent to a nearby pharmacy. Don’t wait—get the care you need today.

Open the intake form and choose one of the following options:

  • Urgent Care: For immediate treatment of your scabies via virtual care.
  • Set Up an Appointment: To schedule a same-day or future appointment.
 

Next, select how you would like to receive appointment offers from doctors.
We recommend using WhatsApp as it is faster and more reliable. You will quickly receive various visit options. Choose the one that suits you best and proceed to online payment.

Video visits are browser-based, so no apps are needed. Simply click the link you receive to start your video visit in your browser.

After the consultation, you’ll receive an invoice and, if appropriate, an e-prescription via email. Depending on the location, you can show or print the prescription to purchase medication at your preferred pharmacy.

Following the consultation, if appropriate for your case, the doctor will either email the e-prescription to you or send it directly to the pharmacy. You can then either print it out or show it to the pharmacist when purchasing the medication.

It’s important to understand that doctors must responsibly evaluate each case individually. They can’t simply prescribe medication solely based on a patient’s request or a recommendation from another doctor without confirming that it’s suitable for the patient’s specific condition.

Prices vary depending on the provider since they compete to offer you a fair rate. On average, an online doctor visit costs around €25. In-person appointments, specialists, and lab work have different prices depending on the city. When you send a request you can choose the provider that suits you best but there’s no obligation to book.

Keep in mind that the consultation fee doesn’t include medication. The good news is that common antibiotics are generally affordable throughout Europe, usually between €5 and €15.

Absolutely! As soon as you send in your request, it’s instantly received by the doctors who are on duty at that moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s late at night, early on a Sunday morning, or even on August 15th when Zakynthos celebrates the Feast of the Dormition—there’s always someone ready to help. When you get an appointment option, just remember that a real doctor has seen your request and is ready to assist you.

You can message your physician with follow-up questions at no additional cost for up to 7 days after the video visit.
