Clinical content is reviewed for accuracy and scope. TelePlus Care appointments go ahead only when a doctor agrees it is the right call, after a real assessment, and the doctor will explain the next step if virtual care is not the right fit.

After a secure video or phone visit with a doctor registered in the territory, you can fill your prescription at a community pharmacy or health centre.
- Birth control pill prescription online — your doctor reviews your health history, blood pressure, and risk factors, then prescribes a combined or progestin-only pill if it is appropriate for you.

Which Birth Control Methods We Can — and Cannot — Prescribe Online

- Can prescribe online — combined oral contraceptive pills
- Can prescribe online — progestin-only (mini) pills
- Can prescribe online — the contraceptive patch
- Can prescribe online — the vaginal ring
- Cannot prescribe online — IUD insertion (hormonal or copper) requires in-person placement
- Cannot prescribe online — the contraceptive implant requires in-person insertion

Birth Control Eligibility: What the Doctor Screens For
Most Nunavut residents are clinically eligible for at least one online-prescribable contraceptive method, but combined hormonal contraception (which contains estrogen) is not suitable for everyone. Your doctor screens for the conditions below during the consultation. If a contraindication is found, your doctor may still prescribe a progestin-only option or refer you in-person for a non-hormonal method.
- Smokers over age 35 — combined hormonal contraception is contraindicated; progestin-only options may remain appropriate
- Personal history of blood clots (DVT or PE) — combined hormonal methods are contraindicated
- Migraine with aura — combined hormonal methods are contraindicated
- Uncontrolled hypertension — combined hormonal methods are not started until blood pressure is controlled
- Current pregnancy — contraception is not initiated; your doctor will advise accordingly
