If you have had unprotected sex or your regular contraception has failed, emergency hormonal contraception can help prevent an unplanned pregnancy. Often referred to as the morning after pill, emergency contraception is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. At Hearts Pharmacy, we provide a confidential, discreet emergency contraception service with no appointment needed. Our trained pharmacists are here to support you, answer your questions, and ensure you receive the right treatment quickly and without judgement.

Emergency hormonal contraception is a type of medication designed to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is not intended as a regular form of contraception but serves as an important backup option when needed. 

The emergency contraceptive pill is most effective if taken as soon as possible after you have had unprotected intercourse, but it can be taken up to 120 hours afterwards.

You can purchase the Emergency Hormonal Contraception if you are 16 and over from any of our branches. Our pharmacist will advise you in confidence.

For more information you may contact us or speak to our pharmacist at your local branch directly.
