Family Planning FAQs

Is family planning counseling really confidential?

Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality for all family planning services. Our consultations are conducted in a private room, and your information is never shared without your explicit consent. This applies to clients of all ages.

What if I'm not sure which contraceptive method is right for me?

That's exactly why we offer comprehensive consultations! Our pharmacists will discuss your lifestyle, health history, preferences, and concerns to help you make an informed decision. You can always change methods if your first choice doesn't work well.

Can I get emergency contraception without a prescription?

Yes, emergency contraception is available over-the-counter. However, we strongly recommend a brief consultation to ensure you receive the most appropriate option and understand proper usage and follow-up care.

Do you provide contraceptive services for people with medical conditions?

Yes, we specialize in helping individuals with medical conditions find safe, effective contraceptive options. We consider your specific health needs and may coordinate with your healthcare provider to ensure the safest choices.

What if I want to involve my partner in family planning decisions?
