Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception can help reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex or if your usual contraception has failed. At GetMyMeds we offer emergency contraception, with suitability checked by our clinicians or pharmacist, so you can act quickly and discreetly.

How It Works

1. Complete an online consultation — answer a few short, confidential questions about your situation, the timing and your medical history.
2. A clinician or pharmacist reviews suitability — we check that emergency contraception is appropriate and which option is right for you.
3. Discreet delivery — once approved, your treatment is dispensed and sent in plain packaging. Because timing matters, please order as soon as possible.

Choosing a Treatment

There are different emergency contraceptive tablets, and they need to be taken within a certain number of hours or days after unprotected sex, with effectiveness generally greater the sooner they are taken. The most suitable option can depend on the time elapsed, your weight and any medicines you take. Our pharmacist can help you choose.

FAQ

How soon do I need to take it? Emergency contraception works best when taken as soon as possible. Each type has a maximum time window, so it is important to act quickly.

Is it the same as the abortion pill? No. Emergency contraception aims to prevent pregnancy from occurring; it is not used to end an existing pregnancy.

What if I am sick after taking it? If you vomit within a few hours of taking the tablet, it may not work, so contact our pharmacist or a healthcare professional for advice on what to do next.
