About Emergency Hormonal Contraception Service
At Earls Barton Pharmacy, we provide a fast, safe, and confidential emergency hormonal contraception (EHC) service, also known as the morning after pill service.
Emergency contraception helps reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, such as a missed pill, broken condom, or no contraception being used. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible, so seeking advice promptly is important.
Our trained pharmacists offer a private and discreet consultation to assess your needs and provide the most suitable treatment quickly and safely—without the need for a GP appointment. All consultations are carried out in a confidential setting, and your information is always treated with care and respect. Any treatment supplied will be subject to a pharmacist consultation and suitability assessment.
We are here to provide non-judgmental support, clear advice, and timely access to treatment when you need it most.
