Important Medical Information
Who can use this service?
Our online contraceptive prescription service is available to women aged 17 and over who are already using the contraceptive pill, patch, or ring. If you are starting contraception for the first time, we recommend discussing your options with a healthcare provider.
Which contraceptive methods can I get a prescription for?
We provide prescriptions for a wide range of combined and progestogen-only (mini-pill) contraceptive pills, patches, and vaginal rings. If you are unsure which method is best for you, speak with a doctor for personalised advice.
Can I switch to a different contraceptive method?
Yes. If you are experiencing side effects or want to switch methods, our doctors can guide you through the options available and prescribe a suitable alternative.
How long does it take to receive my prescription?
Most prescriptions are issued within 24 hours after submission. Once approved, it will be sent directly to your chosen pharmacy for collection.
Are there any medical conditions that might prevent me from using hormonal contraception?
Yes. Certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure, migraines with aura, a history of blood clots, or smoking over the age of 35, may make some hormonal contraceptives unsuitable. Our doctors will review your medical history to ensure that the prescribed method is safe for you.
Can I get emergency contraception through this service?
No. Emergency contraception is available over the counter at pharmacies or through a GP consultation. If you need it urgently, contact a pharmacy or healthcare provider.
Will I need to attend an in-person appointment?
In most cases, no. However, if our doctors determine that further assessment is needed—such as a blood pressure check—you may be advised to visit a GP or pharmacy before your prescription can be issued.
Can I use this service if I have just given birth or am breastfeeding?
Yes, but the type of contraception you can use depends on your individual circumstances. Certain pills may not be suitable during breastfeeding. Our doctors will assess your situation and recommend the best option.
Are there any side effects?
Like all medications, hormonal contraception can have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, headaches, mood changes, or breakthrough bleeding. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, consult a doctor for advice on switching methods.
Can I get a prescription for a contraceptive implant, injection, or IUD?
No. These methods require an in-person procedure and are not available through our online prescription service. You will need to visit a GP or family planning clinic for these options.
Is my information secure?
Yes. AMAE Clinic follows strict GDPR guidelines to ensure that your medical data remains confidential and secure.
