What you can discuss

  • Choosing a method that suits your health, age and lifestyle
  • Renewing the contraceptive pill you already take, where appropriate
  • Side effects, missed pills and changing methods
  • Questions about the coil, implant or injection and how to arrange them
  • Sexual health concerns and where to get tested

What the doctor will ask

To advise safely your doctor will ask about your health, blood pressure if you know it, smoking, migraines, family history of blood clots, any medicines you take and whether you could be pregnant. If a method needs an examination or a fitting, they will explain where to arrange it.

Emergency contraception

Emergency contraception can be bought from most pharmacies in Ireland without a prescription, and works best the sooner it is taken. You do not need to wait for an appointment — see the HSE sexual health guidance linked below.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get the contraceptive pill online in Ireland?

Where your doctor considers it clinically appropriate after a consultation, a prescription is sent to the Irish pharmacy you choose.

Do I need a blood pressure reading?

It helps. If you have a recent reading, tell the doctor. If not, they will advise what is suitable.

Can I discuss the coil or implant online?

Yes, you can talk it through, but fitting needs an in-person appointment, which the doctor will help you arrange.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Medical confidentiality applies, and consultations are not recorded.
