Can the pharmacist prescribe me a patch/ring/implant?

Yes, pharmacists are able to prescribe certain forms of hormonal contraception under certain conditions. It is recommended to contact your pharmacist to schedule an appointment for a brief evaluation to assess your health status, medical history, and other factors to determine if prescribing contraception is appropriate. However, there may be cases where the pharmacist determines it is best to refer you to your family doctor. It is important to note that pharmacists must ensure that you will be able to properly receive or administer the treatment, such as with injections or implants.
