Emergency Hormonal Contraception (Paid)
About this service
At Weldricks, our pharmacists can provide a private and confidential consultation, along with advice on emergency hormonal contraception. Emergency contraception can prevent up to 95% of pregnancies when taken 5 days after sex.
Our pharmacies offer the Emergency Hormonal Contraceptive (Morning after Pill) tablet to buy. The morning after pill works by delaying your ovulation so that you don't release an egg for remaining sperm to fertilize.
Contact your local branch to confirm availability, or discover our morning after pill range.
