Birth Control Eligibility and Safety — What the Physician Reviews

Birth control is safe for most people, but estrogen-containing methods carry risk for some. Before prescribing, the licensed doctor takes a blood-pressure reading and screens for contraindications so the method chosen is right for you.

  • Blood pressure — a recent or self-measured reading is reviewed; available machines are available at many Cochrane Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, and Walmart pharmacy locations.
  • Clot history — a history of blood clots, DVT, or PE means estrogen-containing methods (combined pill, patch, ring) are not prescribed; a mini-pill may still be an option.
  • Migraines and smoking — migraine with aura, or smoking over age 35, also rule out combined methods; the doctor can consider a progestin-only pill instead.
  • Other factors — uncontrolled high blood pressure or a current pregnancy are screened for. If a combined method is not appropriate, a safer option is usually still available.

In Alberta, hormonal contraception (the pill, patch, ring, or injection) requires a prescription, which can be issued by a physician, a nurse practitioner, or a pharmacist who holds Additional Prescribing Authorization. Unlike British Columbia, Alberta does not have a universal free-contraception program, so the cost is generally covered only through private insurance or government-sponsored drug plans for eligible residents. (Source: Alberta College of Pharmacy (Additional Prescribing Authorization).)

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across Alberta, including Cochrane, Cold Lake, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, and Fort Saskatchewan, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
