For the first time women will now be able to buy progestogen-only oral contraceptive pills without prescription in the UK, increasing choice for women in the ways in which they can access contraception.

Progestogen-only contraceptive pills containing desogestrel will soon be available to buy in pharmacies after a consultation with a pharmacist, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced today. Desogestrel is safe for most women to take and will still be available free of charge from a doctor, from commissioned services and sexual health clinics.
