This information is kept confidential and used to determine which emergency contraception is right for you.
Our team will talk you through all of your options and answer any questions you have. Our pharmacists are always discreet and will get you the right contraception as quickly as we can.
If you think you need the morning after pill, contact us as soon as you can, the sooner you take the pill the more effective it can be. We’ll also advise you if you need to visit a clinic for STI testing which you may need if you’ve had unprotected sex.
How does the morning after pill work?
Morning-after pills work mainly by delaying or preventing the release of an egg from the ovaries, called ovulation.
It’s this feature that means it’s best to take it as soon as possible so that the medication can be in your system to prevent the pregnancy before it happens. Morning after pills and emergency contraception do not get rid of a pregnancy that’s already there.
It can help us decide which emergency contraception is right for you if you can let us know the date of your last period and if your periods are regular. Our pharmacist will ask you about this at your consultation.
Who can take the morning after pill?
The morning after pill is not right for everyone, but we find that most people can use it to prevent a pregnancy safely. It is possible to take the pill even if you can’t take hormonal contraception.
We’ve put together guides on the different types of contraception available, how they work and what to expect, you can read about this here.
If you think you need emergency contraception, don’t delay. Contact our pharmacy online or visit us on Ewell high street for quick and discreet help and advice.
