Overview
About this service.
You can now start or continue the contraceptive pill through the pharmacy, free on the NHS, without going back to the GP each time.
A pharmacist checks your blood pressure, weight and medical history, discusses which pill suits you and supplies it the same day. If you are already on a pill that works, this is the quickest way to keep it going.
The whole conversation happens in a private room. Nothing is discussed at the counter.
