Birth Control Online
How it works:
• Complete an online consultation about your health, lifestyle, and preferences.
• A licensed provider reviews your case.
• If safe, a prescription is issued for the chosen method.
• Medications are shipped directly or sent to your local pharmacy.
Common methods available online:
• Oral contraceptives (the pill)
• Contraceptive patch
• Vaginal ring
• Some platforms also manage refills for existing prescriptions
Benefits:
• Convenient refills without scheduling in-person visits
• Discreet and private process
• Access to multiple options depending on patient preference
Hormone Therapy Online
Telehealth also supports women managing hormonal changes, including perimenopause and menopause.
Common treatments prescribed online include:
• Estrogen therapy (patches, gels, oral)
• Progesterone supplementation
• Combination therapies
• Thyroid medications for hormonal balance
Benefits:
• Relief from hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances
• Better access in areas with few menopause specialists
• Ongoing adjustments and follow-up through secure online platforms
Fertility Support via Telehealth
Some telehealth programs provide fertility counseling and ovulation support, including:
• Prescription ovulation medications
• Virtual consultations with fertility specialists
• Education on timing, cycles, and reproductive health
Safety Considerations
• Not all patients are suitable for hormonal birth control (e.g., smokers over 35, history of blood clots, uncontrolled hypertension).
• Hormone therapy requires ongoing monitoring to ensure safe dosing.
• Telehealth providers typically screen patients carefully to minimize risks.
