How It Works

Confidential Consultation

Speak privately with a pharmacist in our consultation room. You'll be asked about your medical history, current medications, blood pressure, and contraceptive needs. Everything is completely confidential.

Assessment & Prescription

Your pharmacist assesses your suitability for oral contraception using evidence-based clinical criteria. If appropriate, a prescription is issued on the same day — no waiting for a GP appointment.

Supply

Your contraceptive pill is dispensed immediately from the pharmacy. You'll receive clear instructions on how and when to take it, what to do if you miss a pill, and which medications might affect it.

Follow-Up

A follow-up is offered at 3 months and then annually. At each visit your blood pressure is checked and any questions or concerns are addressed.
