Emergency Contraception
in Belfast — Fast, Private & Professional

What Is Emergency Contraception?
Emergency contraception — sometimes called the morning after pill — is a safe and effective way to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy after unprotected sex, or if your regular contraception has failed. It is not intended as a regular form of contraception, but it is there when you need it most.
Confidential
At McCoubrey Chemist, our pharmacists provide a confidential consultation to help you understand your options, answer any questions, and supply the most appropriate form of emergency contraception if it is suitable for you.
