Medical information
Women who are eligible can obtain a 3-month supply of their current contraceptive pills if the following applies:
- You have been taking the same contraceptive pill for the last year.
- You have had no problems with your contraceptive pill in the last year.
- You have had a face-to-face pill check in the last year.
Dr Fox can only issue a 3-month supply of your current pill. This service does not replace your regular face-to-face contraceptive pill check-up. We are required to inform your GP of any supplies and will require your GP details.
Risks of taking the contraceptive pill
The risks of taking the contraceptive pill vary depending on general health, age and type of pill. For the details please see the patient information leaflet supplied with all pill packs (links to each leaflet are also below). We do not supply contraception to women in high risk groups.
The combined contraceptive pill (pills containing oestrogen and progestogen) increases the risk of thrombosis, arterial disease, migraines, and high blood pressure. There is a small increase in risk of breast and cervical cancer with these pills. This is balanced by small decreased risks of cancer of the ovaries and womb.
We are unable to supply contraception online to women aged 55 years and above. Please consult your regular doctor/nurse or a contraceptive advice service.
Types of contraceptive pill
After a consultation you will, if eligible, be able to choose your current contraceptive pill (combined & mini pill) from the list below.
Patient Information Leaflets:
