Order Oral Contraceptive Treatment Online
What is the oral contraceptive pill?
As the name suggests, oral contraception pills are tablets taken regularly by mouth. There are many different names used for the oral contraceptive pill. Sometimes they are referred to by their different brand names such as Cilest or Marvelon. Sometimes you may hear them referred to as 'the pill', 'mini pill' or 'birth control'. Most accurately though, they are described by their active ingredients.
The combined pill (also know as 'the pill') contains two synthetic versions of the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone. It works to stop ovulation and also prevents sperm from getting to an egg. It also stops fertilised eggs from being able to implant in the womb. The combined pill either comes in strips of 28 - where a pill is taken daily, or strips of 21 - where 7 pill free days are observed per cycle.
The progesterone-only pill (also known as POP or 'the mini pill') only contains one hormone, namely progesterone. More accurately, it actually contains a synthetic version of this female hormone called progestin. It works to stop ovulation, prevents sperm from reaching an egg and stops fertilised eggs from implanting in the womb. Mini-pills come in strips of 28 tablets, one to be taken daily.
We provide this regulated, specialist service for women aged 18 or over who are currently taking a contraceptive pill. You can request 3 months of your current pill without having to go to your doctor so long as you have not developed any risk factors. We can supply all the commonly used UK contraceptive pills such as Micogynon and Cilest as well as some of the newest brands such as Yasmin and Qlaira. Below is a list of the contraceptive pills that a doctor can prescribe on a three month cycle.
All services provided by Anytime Doctor are safe, fast and confidential. You can obtain treatment within the privacy of your home and without the inconvenience of waiting for an appointment.

We aim to offer you similar pattern of healthcare as if you were to visit your normal GP for a face to face consultation. We believe it is important that you complete a medical consultation to ensure that the treatment option you are requesting is appropriate for your needs. Our GMC registered doctors are also able to suggest treatment options for you if you prefer. Once a doctor has approved you for treatment all prices are clearly displayed. Your medical consultation and registration is free and you are under no obligation to purchase any treatment after your consultation.
In order to manage some conditions online, we are required to inform your GP about the medicine you have been prescribed. This will be clearly highlighted during your consultation. We will not contact or share this information with your GP without your consent. You are required to provide consent each time you order, so you remain in full control of when we contact your GP on your behalf.

How effective is the contraceptive pill?
The contraceptive pill is over 99% effective if taken as instructed.
How will your doctor know which contraceptive pill you want?
During the online medical questionnaire you will be asked the name of your current contraceptive pill or the pill you have taken in the past. We will provide you with a list of the most common contraceptive pills used in the UK. Your doctor can prescribe all combined and mini-pills that are commonly used in the UK. Your doctor will not prescribe you any contraceptive pills that are not licensed in the UK.
Can I get a repeat prescription?
Your doctor can offer you ongoing prescriptions. After your initial three month medication, you can request a further prescription but you must have your blood pressure checked before requesting another prescription. Your doctor needs to be sure that your contraceptive pill hasn't raised your blood pressure. You do not need to visit a doctor; most pharmacies will check your blood pressure for free.
