The roll-out of the pharmacy contraception service in England is a positive step forward for women’s health and will enable many women to access their contraception more easily.

However, many women lead extremely busy lives, and for some, the convenience of accessing their contraception over the counter outweighs the cost. In a study conducted by Maxwellia, 44% of women1 agreed they would be willing to pay to get daily contraception more quickly and easily. It’s about time.

You can help support and empower these women by recommending Lovima® or LoviOne® when they request the progesterone only pill, or emergency contraceptive pill in store.
