Combined Oral Contraceptive Pills (COCP)

Combined pills contain two hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. They are effective at preventing pregnancy, regulating periods, reducing menstrual pain, and can help manage symptoms like acne. Suitable for women who prefer predictable monthly cycles.

Key Benefits:

Highly effective when taken correctly
Regular, lighter, and less painful periods
Reduces acne and PMS symptoms

Progestogen-Only Pill (Mini Pill)

The mini pill contains only progestogen, making it a good option for women who can’t or prefer not to take oestrogen, such as breastfeeding women, those with migraines, or smokers over 35. It’s taken every day without breaks.

Key Benefits:

Safe for breastfeeding women
Suitable for those sensitive to oestrogen
Can be taken continuously without breaks

Contraceptive Injection

The contraceptive injection contains progestogen and provides reliable contraception for approximately 12 weeks. It’s ideal for women who want a low-maintenance method without daily pills.

Key Benefits:

Long-lasting (approx. 3 months per injection)
No daily pills to remember
Often reduces heavy or painful periods over time

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a contraceptive pill online in Ireland without visiting a GP?

Yes, smartscripts.ie offers a fully online consultation and prescription service for contraceptive methods such as combined oral contraceptive pills (COCP), progestogen-only (mini) pills, the patch, Ring, and injection.

You will complete a confidential medical assessment online, and, once approved, an Irish-registered doctor will issue a prescription that you can collect at your local pharmacy or have the medication delivered to you.

This eliminates the need for waiting rooms and provides discreet, convenient access to contraception.

Can I use smartscripts.ie if I am already on the pill and just need a repeat prescription?

Yes. If you are currently taking the contraceptive pill or another hormonal contraceptive method and need a renewal, smartscripts.ie makes it simple. Just complete the short online questionnaire, a doctor can provide a 6-month repeat prescription that you can collect at your local pharmacy or select to have your medication delivered.

How long is the prescription valid and how often can I renew my contraception through smartscripts?

smartscripts.ie issues 6-month prescriptions for all available contraceptive products in Ireland, such as pills, patches, rings, and injections. This enables efficient collection and reduces the need for repeat consultations.

Note: Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) like implants or coils are not available through this service.

Is smartscripts.ie free under Ireland’s Free Contraception Scheme?

While smartscripts.ie offers a convenient online service (costing €20 for a prescription), it does not fall under Ireland’s Free Contraception Scheme (which covers GP or family planning centre consultations, LARCs, pills, patches, rings, emergency contraception, etc., for eligible individuals aged 17–35/36)

However, smartscripts.ie may be a faster and more discreet option if you prefer an online process or are outside the eligibility age range.
