Yes. TelePlus Care offers 100% online birth control consultations and same-day prescriptions for Penticton residents. A licensed doctor can prescribe the combined pill, mini-pill, patch or vaginal ring after reviewing your eligibility — no need to leave home.

Our licensed doctors can prescribe the combined oral contraceptive pill, the progestin-only (mini) pill, the contraceptive patch and the vaginal ring. The doctor recommends the option that best fits your health and preferences.

Before the visit, the booking team walks you through timing, what the intake needs, and what follow-up will look like. Filling the prescription happens at your own pharmacy afterwards, as a separate step.

No. Some methods are not safe for people with a history of blood clots, stroke, certain migraines with aura, uncontrolled high blood pressure, smoking over age 35, or current pregnancy. That is why the doctor checks your blood pressure and screens for these contraindications before prescribing.

TelePlus Care offers same-day prescriptions. Once your online consultation is complete and the doctor confirms birth control is appropriate for you, you can fill it at any Penticton pharmacy — often within hours.

No referral needed. Book directly through telepluscare.com or call 587-442-4898. We make accessing birth control in Penticton as easy and direct as possible.

In British Columbia, pharmacists have been authorized since June 1, 2023 to independently assess and prescribe hormonal contraception (as can your doctor), and BC PharmaCare covers prescription contraceptives — including most oral pills, hormonal and copper IUDs, implants, injections, the vaginal ring, and emergency contraception — at no cost to residents enrolled in the Medical Services Plan (MSP). Some brand-name products are only partially covered, but a fully covered equivalent is generally available.
