What contraception can I get online?

NOVAGP prescribes a wide range of contraceptive options — combined pills, progestogen-only pills, the patch and the vaginal ring. Tap a method to see how it works.

Oestrogen + progestogen

Combined pill (COCP)

Two hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. Very effective at preventing pregnancy, and it also regulates periods, reduces period pain and can settle acne. Suits women who want a predictable monthly cycle.

Key benefits

  • Highly effective when taken correctly
  • Regular, lighter and less painful periods
  • Can improve acne and PMS symptoms

Contraceptive pills, ring and patch

The contraceptive injection, implants and coils are long-acting methods that must be given or fitted in person, so they can't be prescribed through this online service.

Is this service right for me?

You can use NOVAGP.IE for contraception if:

  • You are aged 17 or older
  • You are starting contraception for the first time and meet the safety criteria
  • You need a repeat prescription for your current method
  • You want a more convenient, private way to access contraception

Our doctors will only prescribe if it is medically safe and appropriate. If further review or tests are needed, we'll tell you and refund the fee.
