Contraception and Family Planning
Emergency Contraception Options Available in the UK
Emergency contraception is readily available through UK pharmacies without prescription for women over 16. The morning-after pill, including brands like ellaOne and Levonelle, can prevent pregnancy when taken within specified timeframes after unprotected intercourse. Our qualified pharmacists provide confidential consultations to help you choose the most suitable emergency contraceptive option for your circumstances.
Hormonal Contraceptive Options
Combined oral contraceptive pills remain one of the most popular contraceptive methods, offering excellent pregnancy prevention when used correctly. Leading brands available include Microgynon, Rigevidon, and Yasmin. For women who cannot take oestrogen, progesterone-only pills (mini-pills) such as Cerazette and Noriday provide effective alternatives with different dosing requirements.
Modern contraceptive patches like Evra and vaginal rings such as NuvaRing offer convenient alternatives to daily pill-taking, providing consistent hormone delivery with weekly or monthly application schedules.

We provide comprehensive information about long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods, including:

Menstrual Health and Period Care
Period Pain Relief and Heavy Bleeding Management
Effective period pain relief is available through various medications including ibuprofen, naproxen, and paracetamol-based products specifically formulated for menstrual discomfort. For severe period pain, prescription treatments like mefenamic acid can be obtained through our pharmacy consultation services.
Heavy menstrual bleeding affects many women and can be managed through appropriate treatments. Tranexamic acid tablets help reduce excessive bleeding, whilst hormonal treatments can regulate cycle intensity. Our pharmacists provide guidance on when to seek additional medical support for persistent heavy bleeding concerns.
