Are you in the United States? (If not, tell me your country and I’ll list options there.)
If you are in the U.S., these reputable telehealth services commonly evaluate patients and prescribe progestin‑only pills (the “mini‑pill”) and will ship them or send prescriptions to a local pharmacy:
- Nurx — specializes in birth control, simple online medical questionnaire, ships pills to your home, and lets you request specific formulations (e.g., norethindrone generics or Slynd).
- Planned Parenthood Direct (app / online) — nonprofit option with telehealth visits or e-visits; often has sliding‑scale fees and can prescribe and arrange pickup/mailed medications.
- Lemonaid Health — fast online visit and prescription sent to a pharmacy; transparent pricing and widely available in many states.
- GoodRx Care (formerly HeyDoctor by GoodRx) — low‑cost online visit and e‑prescription sent to a pharmacy; useful if you want to compare drug prices using GoodRx coupons.
- Maven Clinic — women’s/sexual‑health focused telemedicine with clinicians who can prescribe contraception and coordinate pharmacy delivery.
- The Pill Club (now operates subscription delivery in some regions) — if available in your area, offers subscription deliveries and can coordinate prescriptions for progestin‑only pills.
A few practical notes:
- “Mini‑pills” available in the U.S. include norethindrone generics/brands (Camila, Nora‑BE, Errin) and Slynd (drospirenone), which has a slightly different dosing window. Not every service carries every brand — you can request a specific brand when you sign up.
- Availability and pricing depend on your state, insurance, and the service’s pharmacy partnerships. Some services ship directly; others send a prescription to a local pharmacy.
- You’ll complete a medical questionnaire or brief telehealth visit to screen for contraindications. If you want, I can help you compare costs/availability of a specific brand (e.g., Slynd vs generic norethindrone) or help find which of the above services operates in your state.
