Pharmacies offering emergency contraception (EHC) in Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland

If you’ve had sex without a condom, or if a condom split, you might need the morning after pill. This can help prevent pregnancy if taken soon after.

If you’re a young person living in South Tees, some local pharmacies can give you the morning after pill for free. Some of these pharmacies can also provide free condoms for future protection.

The staff at these pharmacies are friendly and non-judgemental. Everything you say will be kept private and they’re there to listen, support and offer advice.
