Confidential Help, Available Now
Emergency Hormonal Contraception is available free of charge and in confidence, with no appointment needed, to patients across Dumfries & Galloway.
What Is Emergency Hormonal Contraception?
Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC), sometimes called the morning after pill, can help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or a contraception failure. It works best the sooner it’s taken, and our pharmacists can supply it quickly, discreetly, and free of charge, without the need to book ahead.
What You Can Expect
A quick, private conversation so we can find the right option for you.
Completely Confidential
Your conversation takes place in a private consultation area, away from the counter.
No Appointment Needed
Walk in during opening hours and speak to our pharmacist directly.
Free Of Charge
This service is provided free under the NHS, with no prescription charge to pay.
How It Works
Come in and ask to speak with the pharmacist about emergency contraception. We’ll take you to a private area, ask a few short questions about your health and when you need the contraception for, and talk through the most suitable option. Most conversations only take a few minutes, and you’ll leave with your medication the same visit.
Time matters: emergency contraception is more effective the sooner it’s taken after unprotected sex, so please don’t delay getting in touch.
Ongoing Contraception Options
If you’d like to talk about regular contraception going forward, our pharmacist can also advise on free NHS options or point you towards our private contraception service if you’re looking for something more tailored.
