The progesterone only pill (POP) and Combined Oral Contraceptive (COCP) are taken daily and with typical use they are 91% effective preventing a pregnancy. Long acting contraception such as IUD(coil), implant and injections are better at preventing a pregnancy. None of these methods protect you against sexually transmitted infections such as herpes, chlamydia, HIV. If you are worried about STIs, for more info visit www.essexsexualhealthservice.org.uk or speak to your GP.

If you are having issues with your current contraception, please book an appointment with your GP to discuss your options further.

Before prescribing you oral contraception, we will ask you some questions about your health – a GP will review your answers to ensure we prescribe safely. Once you are prescribed the pill, it will be added to your repeat list for a total of 12 months which you can request online or via repeat prescription service in the surgery manually. After a year you will need to come back or fill a new form for a review unless there is any change earlier in your circumstances or you have any concerns.
