Birth Control Eligibility and Safety — What the Physician Reviews

Birth control is safe for most people, but estrogen-containing methods are not right for everyone. Before prescribing, the licensed doctor takes a blood-pressure reading and screens for contraindications so the method chosen is appropriate for you.

  • Blood pressure — a recent or self-measured reading is reviewed; available machines are available at many Sydney Shoppers Drug Mart and Lawtons Drugs locations.
  • Clot history — a history of blood clots, DVT, or PE means estrogen-containing methods (combined pill, patch, ring) are not prescribed; a mini-pill may still be an option.
  • Migraines and smoking — migraine with aura, or smoking over age 35, also rule out combined methods; a progestin-only pill can be considered instead.
  • Other factors — uncontrolled high blood pressure or a current pregnancy are screened for. If a combined method is not appropriate, a safer option is usually still available.

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. During the appointment itself, medication options, pharmacy logistics, and follow-up are all covered with your doctor. Before the visit, the booking team walks you through timing, what the intake needs, and what follow-up will look like. Medication choices, how the pharmacy handoff works, and what follow-up you need are all part of the visit conversation.

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.

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

TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic, so visits are not billed to Medical Services Insurance (MSI) — you pay a flat visit fee and there is no wait-list or referral needed. Our doctors are licensed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia (CPSNS) to care for patients in Nova Scotia.

Most Sydney patients can book a same-day or next-day virtual visit with TelePlus Care — no roster, referral, or wait-list required. You connect with a Canadian licensed doctor by phone or secure video from home, and when appropriate a prescription is sent to your preferred Sydney pharmacy.

In Nova Scotia, pharmacists can independently assess and prescribe hormonal birth control (as well as emergency contraception), and the assessment/prescribing service is covered with a valid Nova Scotia health card. However, the province does not offer universal free contraception — unlike B.C. (which has provided free prescription contraception since April 2023), the medication itself is not fully covered, so costs are generally paid out of pocket or through Pharmacare (with deductibles/co-pays) or private insurance.

Because care is virtual, TelePlus Care serves patients across Nova Scotia, including Sydney, Truro, Bridgewater, Dartmouth, and Halifax, and other communities — anywhere in the province with a phone or internet connection.
