If you’ve had sex without using contraception, or you think that the contraception you did use might have failed, then you may decide you want to use EHC as an emergency measure.

They may be able to offer another form of emergency contraception. Emergency Hormonal Contraception contains levonorgestrel and is taken as a single pill. It is available from H A Crook (Pharmacy) with or without a doctor’s prescription. You can obtain EHC from us without a prescription in one of two ways. Firstly, it is available to purchase over-the-counter (for those aged 16 years and above). Alternatively, all of our Pharmacists are accredited to provide emergency hormonal contraception free of charge as part of a local NHS service (including, in some cases, to UNDER 16's). Before you can be supplied with EHC, you will need to have a brief consultation with the Pharmacist, who will ensure that it is suitable for you.
