TelePlus Care offers confidential online contraception consultations for people across the Northwest Territories — no waiting room and no travel between communities. A doctor registered in the NWT reviews your information and, when it is clinically appropriate, can issue a prescription you fill at a local pharmacy.
- Birth Control Pill Prescription Online — A registered doctor reviews your health history and blood pressure, and if a combined oral contraceptive is appropriate, can issue a prescription you fill at a pharmacy in your NWT community.
- Progestin-Only Mini-Pill Online — If estrogen is not suitable for you, the doctor can consider a progestin-only mini-pill, often a good fit for people who smoke over 35 or have migraines with aura.
- Patch and Vaginal Ring — The contraceptive patch and the vaginal ring are self-administered methods the doctor can prescribe online after the same eligibility review.
- Birth Control Refill Online — Already on a method that works for you? The doctor can complete a brief reassessment and refill your existing prescription so you do not run out.

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 doctor registered in the NWT 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; the doctor can advise where to have your blood pressure checked in your community.
- 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.
