Emergency contraception covers the time-sensitive options available after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. What is most suitable depends on how much time has passed, where you are in your cycle, your usual contraception and any other medicines you take.

​
What decides the outcome

Time since sex, cycle timing, usual contraception and other medicines determine the most suitable option for you. A licensed doctor reviews these factors case by case.
Emergency pills do not protect against STIs, and the copper IUD remains the most effective emergency option.

4

Ongoing support

Private chat with your doctor for questions, and renewal support before any prescription expires.

​
Who it is not suitable for

Because this is time-sensitive, the doctor’s assessment of timing, cycle stage and current contraception is what determines whether emergency contraception — and which option — is appropriate for you. Emergency pills do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so this consultation does not replace STI testing or ongoing contraception planning.

​
How Hi-Doctor handles it

An EU-licensed doctor reviews your questionnaire and, if appropriate, issues an electronic prescription valid across the EU. The medication, if the doctor prescribes it, is paid separately at the pharmacy at the price it sets — see pricing for the consultation fee. Hi-Doctor does not sell medications.

Sexual health consultation

Answer the sexual health questionnaire and a registered doctor reviews it. They decide whether treatment is appropriate, which one, and at what dose — and declining is a normal outcome. See what it costs and how the review works.
