Contraception Direct

How to order contraception direct

At Dr Pillmans, our direct service is completed with a few simple steps to be able to access contraception. All we require is for you to provide some information about your lifestyle, medical history, any current medications you may be taking, if you have any allergies, and any other existing health conditions. This information will help our clinicians to determine the most suitable contraception for you. Hormonal contraception may not be suitable for everyone. Especially women over the age of 30, who smoke and who many have other medical conditions. Therefore, we need to ensure the medication is safe and suitable for your individual needs and requirements. We may also recommend an alternative contraceptive option should your chosen method be unsuitable.

Ordering contraception direct has never been easier. At Dr Pillmans we offer a direct pharmacy service which offers a convenient and quick method of obtaining contraception. Our contraception direct service allows women to be able to access a wide range of contraceptive options safely and securely, without having the need to make a GP appointment. Our direct service is designed to help make it easy for women to access to contraception by simply completing an online consultation. This is then reviewed by our registered UK clinicians before any medication is prescribed. Our simple approach makes it easier to access contraception, especially for those who lead busy lives or may not have the time to go through public healthcare services.
