Birth control
Birth control, also called contraception, helps prevent pregnancy and allows people to choose a method that suits their health, lifestyle, and personal needs. Options can include contraceptive pills, condoms, vaginal rings, patches, implants, injections, intrauterine devices, and emergency contraception.
About Birth control
Birth Control Overview
Different methods work in different ways. Some are used daily, some are used only when needed, and others provide longer-term protection but require fitting or administration by a trained clinician. The most suitable option depends on factors such as age, medical history, smoking status, migraine history, blood pressure, medication use, side effects, and whether protection against sexually transmitted infections is also needed.
Mobi Doctor can help with non-emergency online advice about birth control options, side effects, missed pills, contraceptive suitability, and prescription renewal requests where clinically appropriate after a doctor assessment. Some methods, such as implants, injections, and intrauterine devices, require in-person care and cannot be managed fully online.
Seek urgent local advice if you need emergency contraception, may be pregnant, have severe abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden severe headache, vision changes, one-sided weakness, heavy bleeding, or swelling or pain in one leg.

Can this be treated online?
Many birth control and contraception requests can often be assessed online, including contraceptive pill renewals, starting contraception, emergency contraception advice, and guidance about side effects or missed pills. Treatment recommendations depend on your medical history, symptoms, and suitability assessment.
Prescriptions & safety
Our licensed doctors may prescribe medication, issue repeat prescriptions or provide referrals where clinically appropriate and medically safe following an online consultation. Prescriptions are never guaranteed or issued automatically, and treatment decisions are always based on the patient’s symptoms, medical history and clinical assessment.
Some medicines, controlled substances and higher-risk treatments cannot be prescribed through online consultations. In certain cases, patients may instead be advised to seek in-person assessment, testing or emergency medical care where appropriate.
