Repeat Prescriptions of Contraceptive Pills

Under certain conditions we may be able to issue repeat prescriptions of the contraceptive pill without the need to see a doctor or nurse.

You may apply for a repeat prescription of the same contraceptive pill if:

• You are aged between 18 and 35 and you are currently taking certain contraceptive pills that have been prescribed by a GP at our practice. The list of pills is available on the application form.
   
• You have had your blood pressure and weight measured in the last year, either in the practice or by a health professional and these are within safe limits.
   
• You have had a cervical smear test within the last three years.
   
• You are happy with your current pill and have no problems or side effects.

Your repeat prescription will usually be ready for collection within 2 working days. If you wish to have your prescription posted to you, you can enclose a stamped addressed envelope and we will post it to you.

Application forms are available from the practice.

Please ask at reception.

Alternatively you can fill in a copy of the form which you can download here.
