Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception is a service available in most pharmacies to help prevent unwanted pregnancies in the event of unprotected sex.

There are 2 types of emergency contraceptive pills; Levonelle and ellaONE. Both are effective in the prevention of pregnancy.

The Pharmacist is able to supply you with medication upon a consultation. If you have had unprotected sex for more than 5 days, please consult your GP.

If the Pharmacist feels it is better for you to see your GP, they may refer you to get the medication.
