Can a pharmacist change my contraceptive for at least 3-6 months? The time to make an appointment with a doctor please

Question

Hello, I noticed that my contraceptive pills Alesse 28 that I take since January 2022 are causing me significant mental health problems. I would like to know if it is possible that the time to see a doctor, a pharmacist can prescribe me a new form of contraceptive or another contraceptive pill please? Thank you very much

Hello, ma'am, Unfortunately, pharmacists cannot substitute the type of contraception if you are already taking one. Furthermore, the situation you describe must be evaluated by a physician to rule out other possible causes. You will need to make an appointment or see a doctor without an appointment. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist With pleasure, good continuation!
