Birth Control Online in Peterborough

You are seen by a Canadian licensed doctor authorized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) to care for patients in Ontario.

Health care in Ontario is administered through Ontario Health Insurance Plan. TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic — your flat-fee visit is not billed to OHIP, and no referral, roster, or wait-list is required.

For free, publicly funded non-urgent health advice in Ontario, you can also call Health811.

Online care is not for emergencies. For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

Yes. TelePlus Care offers 100% online birth control consultations for Peterborough residents. A licensed doctor reviews your health history and blood pressure, screens for contraindications, and if a method is appropriate can issue a same-day prescription for the pill, mini-pill, patch, or ring.

A doctor can prescribe self-administered methods online: combined oral contraceptive pills, progestin-only (mini) pills, the contraceptive patch, and the vaginal ring. The doctor reviews your eligibility before prescribing — it is not assumed to be suitable for everyone.

No. The booking team shares appointment steps before the visit, and the doctor explains the safest next step. Before the visit, the booking team walks you through timing, what the intake needs, and what follow-up will look like. During the appointment itself, medication options, pharmacy logistics, and follow-up are all covered with your doctor.

No. Estrogen-containing methods are not suitable for people with a history of blood clots, certain migraines with aura, smoking over age 35, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. That is why a licensed doctor takes a blood-pressure reading and screens for contraindications before prescribing. If a combined method is not appropriate, a progestin-only option is often still available.

Often the same day. Once your online consultation is complete and the doctor confirms a method is safe for you, you can fill your prescription at your preferred Peterborough pharmacy — frequently within hours.

No referral is needed. You can book directly through our website. The licensed doctor handles your consultation from start to finish.

You connect with a Canadian licensed doctor by phone or secure video from home, and when appropriate a prescription is sent to your preferred Peterborough pharmacy.

In Ontario, pharmacists cannot independently prescribe ongoing hormonal contraception; a prescription must come from an authorized prescriber such as a physician or nurse practitioner (the pharmacist minor-ailments scope covers many other conditions, but not birth control). Ontario has no universal free-contraception program for all ages, though prescription contraception is covered for residents aged 24 and under who lack a private drug plan, through OHIP+ under the Ontario Drug Benefit program.

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across Ontario, including Peterborough, Pickering, Richmond Hill, Sarnia, and Sault Ste. Marie, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
