Can a pharmacist change my contraceptive pill or does it have to be another healthcare professional besides my doctor?

In most cases, pharmacists are not able to change your contraceptive pill without consulting your doctor first. However, they can communicate with your doctor to discuss possible changes. Alternatively, some nurses may be able to prescribe contraceptives in certain settings like CLSCs or schools. It would be best to consult with your pharmacist or inquire about other healthcare professionals who may be able to help you with this issue.
