How it works
Complete a short self-assessment online, instead of sitting in a waiting room. Answer questions about your health history, medications, and conditions, and add a recent blood pressure reading. Takes about five minutes and everything stays private.
Stop by the pharmacy and your pharmacist will verify your blood pressure and review your assessment and ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you. If they have any questions, they will reach out to you directly.
Choose to pick up your medication at the pharmacy or have it delivered to your door. We make it convenient for you to get what you need.
Our pharmacists are available to answer any questions you have about your birth control and provide ongoing support whenever you need it.
