What's included
Personalized treatment plans may include a new or a renewed prescription for online birth control. Your clinician won’t prescribe intrauterine devices (IUDs) like Mirena or contraceptive implants like Nexplanon because these must be placed by an in-person healthcare provider.
You can message your clinician with follow-up questions for 14 days after you get your treatment plan. If you need treatment for an additional health condition, you’ll need to start a separate visit.

Frequently asked questions
What types of online birth control can I get through Amazon Clinic?
The following types of birth control are available through Amazon Clinic:
Birth control pills
Birth control pills, also called oral contraceptives, are the most common form of reversible contraception in the U.S. You take birth control pills every day, ideally at the same time. These pills contain hormones that prevent pregnancy when taken as directed.
There are 2 main types of hormonal birth control pills:
• Combination pills. These birth control pills contain a progestin hormone and an estrogen hormone (usually ethinyl estradiol). The estrogen can help produce a regular menstrual bleeding pattern. Commonly prescribed combination pills include Sprintec, Junel, Loestrin, and Yasmin.
• Progestin-only pills, also known as minipills. These birth control pills contain only a progestin hormone (norethindrone or drospirenone). Commonly prescribed progestin-only pills include Camila, Errin, Heather, and Micronor.
Most hormonal birth control pills are prescribed monthly, but some extended cycle pills like Seasonale are designed for continuous dosing.
Vaginal rings
Vaginal rings are placed in the vagina every 3 weeks. A vaginal ring releases combination hormones that prevent pregnancy when used as directed. Some vaginal rings (like Annovera) can be washed and reused for up to a year, while others (like NuvaRing and EluRyng) are replaced every month.
Hormonal patches
Birth control patches are hormonal patches that you wear on your skin (usually on the arm or lower abdomen) and change once a week. These transdermal patches contain both estrogen and progestin hormones. Birth control patches aren't as effective at preventing pregnancy if your BMI is 30 or higher. Common prescriptions include Xulane, Ortho-Evra, and Twirla.
Birth control shots
Birth control shots contain a progestin called depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). You typically inject yourself in the arm or butt once every 3 months with prefilled syringes. This type of birth control can delay a return to fertility. Depo-Provera SQ is a common prescription.

What do I need to get birth control online?
To request a birth control prescription online, your clinician will need to know your blood pressure. This is because combination birth control (containing estrogen) can affect blood pressure levels.
If you've gotten a blood pressure reading within the last 12 months, you can use that. To get a new blood pressure reading, you can visit your local pharmacy or primary care doctor, or use a home blood pressure monitor.
Your clinician will also need to know additional health information, like your smoking history and the medications you're taking. Certain medications (like some seizure medications and blood thinners) can make hormonal birth control less effective.
