Woke up at 1:30am with a UTI, completed an appointment in the middle of the night and had a prescription waiting for me at the pharmacy in the morning.

Modern, top-notch stuff. Easy to use, smooth sailing. I was able to get a doctor to see via video chat right away to get my RX refill. The doctor was great. The service and support are also great- top of the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Read our FAQ before your visit.

Can I get birth control pills without seeing a doctor?

You do not need to visit a provider’s office to be prescribed birth control pills. Instead, you can speak with a provider online from the comfort of your home, which can help you start treatment sooner. GoodRx Care offers online visits for birth control pills for as low as $19 with a Gold membership or $59 without membership.

When should I see a doctor if I want birth control?

If you are between the ages of 18 and 50, and you are interested in birth control pills for the prevention of pregnancy, GoodRx Care offers online visits for birth control pills for $19 with Gold membership, or for $59 without membership. This service is for females, transgender men, and gender non-conforming people who are at risk for an unplanned pregnancy.

What happens when you go to the doctor for birth control?

Whether you visit a provider in-person or online, you will be asked a series of questions about your medical history, including medical conditions, medications, allergies, and other factors to make sure that birth control pills are appropriate for you. You’ll also need to have your blood pressure taken (if in-person) or provide the latest reading (if online). Then, your provider will decide which birth control option is right for you.

How long until the birth control pill is effective?

Typically, combination birth control pills (containing estrogen and progestin) take about 7 days to start protecting you from getting pregnant if started after the beginning of your period. Check your specific birth control pill for when you are protected once you start taking them, and use backup methods (e.g.,condom, spermicide) until it is effective.

What are the common side effects of birth control?

Common side effects of birth control pills include spotting or bleeding between periods, nausea, headache, and breast tenderness. Not everyone experiences side effects, and some may go away once your body adjusts to the medication. If certain side effects become bothersome, there may be other birth control pill options that are a better fit.

Are birth control pills safe?

While birth control pills are safe for many people, they do come with some risks and may not be right for everyone. Your provider will review your medical history and other factors to make sure that you aren’t at an increased risk for complications like blood clots, stroke, heart attack, or certain forms of cancer.

Are there options you don't offer?

Yes. Since this isn't an in-person visit, we can't offer you certain options like long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) including the intrauterine device (IUD) or an implant. These are extremely effective birth control options, but they require in-person procedures to place. If you want to know more about this or other options, we’re happy to answer your questions and refer you to an in-person provider.
