Unexpected situations can happen when your usual contraception fails, is missed, or was not used. At Walbrook Pharmacy, we provide confidential support for Emergency Hormonal Contraception to help reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancy and offer prompt, professional guidance in a discreet setting.

Our service is available from our pharmacy in Southgate, making it easier for local patients to access timely advice when they need it most. We understand this can be a stressful and time-sensitive situation, so our team aims to offer reassurance, clear information, and appropriate support without unnecessary delay.

What Is Emergency Hormonal Contraception?

Emergency Hormonal Contraception is a method used after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to help reduce the risk of pregnancy. It is designed for urgent situations and is most effective when accessed as soon as possible.

It is not intended to replace regular contraception, but it can provide important short-term protection when a routine method has not worked as expected.

When Should Emergency Hormonal Contraception Be Used?

Emergency Hormonal Contraception may be considered after:

• unprotected sex
• a missed contraceptive pill
• a condom splitting or slipping off
• another contraceptive method failing

Because timing matters, it is important to seek advice as soon as possible so the most appropriate next step can be considered.

Types of Emergency Hormonal Contraception

There are different emergency contraception options, and suitability can depend on factors such as timing, your health history, and any medicines you may be taking. Our team will discuss the most suitable option for your circumstances and explain how it should be used.

Who Can Benefit From Emergency Hormonal Contraception?

This service may be suitable for patients who have recently had unprotected sex or experienced contraceptive failure and want confidential advice in a professional setting. Our team will always assess each situation individually and provide clear guidance based on your needs.
