Selected Oral Contraceptives

  

 

 

Some brands of contraceptive pills are available over the counter from an accredited pharmacist if the eligibility criteria are met. Women who have previously been prescribed a contraceptive pill within the last three years can have a consultation with an accredited pharmacist who will check if it is still appropriate.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible to get over the counter oral contraceptives, discuss this with your pharmacist.
