Getting the Contraceptive Pill Without a Prescription

You may be able to get the contraceptive pill from a pharmacy if you need to:
- start the contraceptive pill for the first time.
- take the contraceptive pill again after a break from using it.

If you already have a prescription for the contraceptive pill, you can use the prescription as usual. Or you can get the pill from a pharmacy without a prescription if you prefer.

Go to the NHS website to find a pharmacy near you
