What does the pharmacist need to know when I ask for Levonelle® One Step?
If you are over 16 you can buy Levonelle® One Step from most pharmacies throughout the UK. The pharmacist has been trained to treat requests for emergency contraception sympathetically and confidentially. He or she will need to ask a few simple questions before you are given it. This will help the pharmacist be sure that Levonelle® One Step is the correct treatment for you. In some cases you will not be able to purchase Levonelle® One Step and your pharmacist may refer you to a healthcare professional or clinic for emergency contraception instead. The Nine Point Questionnaire is designed to help you prepare for your visit to the pharmacy. You can complete it on line, then print it out and take it to the pharmacy with you if you wish. If there are any questions you can’t answer, just leave them blank and the pharmacist will help you.
