Birth Control Online in the Yukon
Birth control online across the Yukon is available through TelePlus Care. A licensed doctor reviews your medical history, checks your blood pressure, and screens for contraindications before issuing a same-day prescription for the pill, the patch, or the vaginal ring. Whether you live in Whitehorse, Dawson City, Watson Lake, Haines Junction, or a remote community where the nearest clinic is hours away, you can book a confidential virtual visit and fill your prescription at a Yukon pharmacy — no long drive and no waiting room.

Combined oral contraceptive pills, progestin-only pills, the patch, and the vaginal ring can be prescribed after a review of your medical history, blood pressure, and contraindications.

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.
What Is an Online Birth Control Consultation in the Yukon?
An online birth control consultation is a private virtual visit with a licensed doctor who reviews your medical history, takes a blood-pressure reading, screens for contraindications, and — when it is safe — issues a prescription you can fill at a Yukon pharmacy. TelePlus Care delivers this over a secure video or phone connection, which matters across a territory where the nearest clinic can be hours away by road. The prescription carries the full weight of a Yukon doctor's signature.
- Conducted by a licensed Canadian licensed doctor
- Secure intake form covering medical history, smoking status, migraines, and current medications
- Same-day prescription you can fill at your preferred Yukon pharmacy
- Your care team confirms the visit steps, intake requirements, and follow-up plan before the appointment.
Methods We Can Prescribe Virtually for Yukon Patients
Self-administered hormonal methods can be safely prescribed online once a doctor has reviewed your history and confirmed there are no contraindications. We are clear about the limits of virtual care: anything requiring an in-person procedure is referred to a local clinic.
- Combined oral contraceptive pills — the most common option for healthy patients without estrogen-related risk factors.
- Progestin-only (mini) pills — often preferred for those who cannot take estrogen, including some postpartum and breastfeeding patients.
- The contraceptive patch — a weekly skin patch that delivers hormones without a daily pill.
- The vaginal ring — a monthly ring you insert and remove yourself.
- Switching brands and routine refills are handled online with a brief reassessment.
How the Booking Process Works in the Yukon
The visit is built for a territory where distance is the biggest barrier to care. You complete a short intake before the call so the doctor already has your information when the consultation starts. If you have a recent blood-pressure reading from a pharmacy machine, share it; otherwise we will guide you through measuring it.
- Step 1 — Book your visit and complete the secure intake covering health history, smoking, migraine status, and current medications.
- Step 2 — Provide a recent or self-measured blood-pressure reading. Blood-pressure machines are available at Whitehorse pharmacies including Shoppers Drug Mart and the Independent and Extra Foods pharmacies.
- Step 3 — A licensed doctor reviews your file, runs the contraindication screen, and joins your secure video or phone consultation.
- Step 4 — If clinically appropriate, the prescription is issued the same day for a Yukon pharmacy. Appointment steps are reviewed before booking; medication is filled separately.
Eligibility and Contraindications for Yukon Patients
Birth control is very safe for most people, but estrogen-containing methods carry cardiovascular risk in specific groups. The doctor's screen follows Canadian guidance, and if a combined method is not safe for you, a progestin-only option is almost always still available. Online birth control is not suitable for everyone, which is why the assessment comes first.
- Smokers over 35 — estrogen-containing methods (combined pill, patch, ring) are generally not prescribed; progestin-only pills remain an option.
- History of blood clots, DVT, or PE — estrogen-containing methods are contraindicated.
- Migraine with aura — combined methods are contraindicated; progestin-only pills are typically safe.
- Uncontrolled hypertension or current pregnancy — assessed individually, and the combined pill is generally avoided.
- Postpartum and breastfeeding — progestin-only pills are usually preferred in the early weeks.
Serving Whitehorse and Communities Across the Yukon
Our Yukon patients come from Whitehorse and from communities scattered across the territory, where access to a family doctor can mean a long drive. The virtual workflow is identical wherever you are, which is exactly the point in the North.
- Whitehorse neighbourhoods — Riverdale, Porter Creek, Copper Ridge, Whistle Bend, Takhini, and the downtown core.
- Students — discreet visits that fit around classes at Yukon University.
- Communities across the territory — Dawson City, Watson Lake, Haines Junction, Carmacks, Mayo, Faro, and the surrounding First Nations communities.
- Pharmacy options — Shoppers Drug Mart, the Independent and Extra Foods pharmacies in Whitehorse, and community pharmacies serving the territory.
When You Should See a Family Doctor or Specialist Instead
Virtual consultations work very well for routine pill, patch, and ring prescriptions. Some situations belong with an in-person family doctor, gynaecologist, or sexual health clinic, and we are upfront when your case falls outside what is safe to manage online.
- IUD insertion and the contraceptive implant require an in-person procedure with a trained provider, typically in Whitehorse.
- Depo-Provera and other injectable methods are administered in person.
- Complex gynaecological issues — abnormal bleeding, suspected endometriosis, severe PCOS, or fertility planning — need a family doctor or gynaecologist.
- Pap smears and STI swabs require an in-person visit.
