Contraceptive Pill

After an initial supply of 6 months, PrivateMeds can make further supplies of your contraceptive pill so long as you provide us with your blood pressure reading and you visit your doctor for a gynaecological check-up at least once a year.
Our service is not suitable for women who are under 18 years of age, who are pregnant or who have not taken a contraceptive pill before. Our doctors will assess if our service is suitable for you from your answers to our questionnaire.
