Emergency contraception in Dublin 2

Emergency contraception provides a safe, time-sensitive way to prevent an unplanned pregnancy. Sometimes, standard contraceptive methods fail. For example, a mishap can occur due to a missed pill, a broken condom, or the incorrect timing of a contraceptive patch. Similarly, a misplaced vaginal ring can leave you unprotected. When these accidents happen, our clinical team is here to help you quickly.

Swift and Confidential Pharmacy Consultations

You can obtain the morning after pill directly from Lombard Pharmacy without a GP prescription. Our compassionate pharmacists provide immediate access to emergency hormonal contraception (EHC) inside our private consultation room. We ensure absolute confidentiality and support during your visit. Consequently, you can bypass busy doctor wait times when every hour matters.

Maximum Effectiveness and Timing Guidelines

Emergency contraception works best when you take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex. Ideally, you should take the treatment within 24 to 72 hours. However, certain types of morning after pills can remain effective for up to 120 hours. Our pharmacist will gladly explain the most appropriate option for your specific timeline. Please note that emergency contraceptive pills will not work if you are already pregnant.

Important Points to Note About Your Care

Women of all ages can safely use emergency contraception to prevent an unplanned pregnancy. However, you should not use it as a regular method of birth control. Additionally, emergency options do not protect you or your partner from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
