Every woman deserves the best healthcare. And while you’re just as capable as the opposite sex, being female means there are certain health considerations that won’t apply to men. This includes if you’re having problems with your periods, or worried about menopausal symptoms.

Periods can be uncomfortable, inconvenient or really painful. If you’re going on holiday or have exams coming up, you may want to delay your period. A tablet called norethisterone can help you do this.

If you've had unprotected sex and you haven’t gone through the menopause, you’re at risk of pregnancy. It’s certainly nothing to be embarrassed about though. Accidents happen. Your pharmacist can talk you through options for emergency contraception.
