Emergency Contraception at Cunninghams Pharmacy

We know that sometimes things don’t go as planned. That’s why we offer a confidential, non-judgemental Emergency Contraception Service at Cunninghams Pharmacy—no prescription needed, and no appointment required.

We provide two types of morning-after pill:

  • Norlevo or Prevenelle – most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex

  • ellaOne – can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after and is considered highly effective

You’ll have a private consultation with one of our trained pharmacists, where we’ll talk you through your options and help you decide what’s best for you. Everything is handled with care, compassion and complete discretion.

If you have questions or just want to talk things through, you can call us, drop in, or speak to a member of our team in-store. We’re here to support you.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ for
Emergency Contraception

  • Convenient & Confidential: We offer quick access to emergency contraception without the need for an appointment. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your privacy throughout the process.
  • Free for Medical Card Holders and Women Aged 17-35: If you hold a medical card or are aged 17-35, the service is free of charge. For other customers, a private fee applies, but we strive to keep our prices affordable.
  • Expert Advice: Our pharmacists will advise you on usage, potential side effects, and follow-up actions if required.

Emergency contraception works by delaying ovulation, reducing the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex. The sooner you take it, the more effective it is.

  • Who can use it? If your regular contraception has failed, or if you’ve had unprotected sex, emergency contraception can be used to prevent pregnancy.
  • It’s not suitable if you are already pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or are on medications that might interfere with its effectiveness. In these cases, our pharmacists can discuss alternative options.
