Can I get the pill online?

Yes. A GP reviews your health, including blood pressure and medical history, and where suitable sends an eScript by SMS. If you've been on the same pill for 6 months or more, renew from $17.99.

Do I need a blood pressure reading?

Your GP may ask for a recent reading. Many pharmacies check blood pressure for free.

Can you prescribe emergency contraception?

Your GP can advise, but emergency contraception is also available from pharmacies without a prescription, which is often fastest. It works best the sooner it's taken.

Can I get an implant or IUD through Teledoc?

These must be inserted in person. Your GP can talk through options and refer you to a clinic.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Your consultation is private and your information is stored securely.
