Oral Contraceptive Pill
Selected Oral Contraceptive Pills are available from a pharmacist accredited to supply the oral contraceptive pill without prescription.
You must have had the pill previously prescribed by a Doctor in the last 3 years and had two visits to the Doctor to discuss the pill. You must be aged 16 to 39 for the combined oral contraceptive pill or 15 to 52 years for the progestogen only pill.
Only some types of the Oral contraceptive pill are available from your pharmacist. These include the most commonly used preparations.
You must have a full consultation at least annually with your accredited pharmacist to discuss your medical history, and the appropriateness of supply and for combined oral contraceptive users a blood pressure check will be needed.
A consultation fee will apply and the cost of the medication will vary depending on the oral contraceptive pill required after consultation if deemed appropriate.
Please call us for further information and exact costs.
