How can I change my contraceptive method without a family doctor? (For example, to change the pill or the patch)

22-year-old womana year ago

Hello, I have been taking the birth control pill for over 2 years, but I have trouble taking it at the same time every day and sometimes I get my period when I take the pill.

Hello Mrs,

Unfortunately, this type of change in therapy cannot be done in a pharmacy. You will have to consult a doctor (clinic, walk-in clinic, FMG, etc.) to rule out other causes and consider other possible options for you.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
