About this Service
Clinically reviewed by licensed pharmacistsEmergency contraception is time-sensitive — the sooner it is taken after unprotected intercourse, the more effective it is. The primary window is within 72 hours, though certain options remain effective up to 120 hours. At Peel Best Pharmacy, our pharmacists provide discreet, judgment-free, same-day access to emergency contraception.
Our pharmacists assess your situation in a completely private consultation, ensure you receive the most appropriate option for your situation and timing, and provide full counseling on effectiveness, what to expect, and next steps for ongoing contraception. No appointment is needed and no doctor's visit is required.
For follow-up care — including STI testing, discussion of ongoing contraception, or any concerns — our onsite family doctors are available by appointment. TDL MD Clinic (Dr. Tony D. Luong, 905-712-3998) and Saldanha Health Centre (Dr. Saldanha, 905-890-8183) are both co-located with Peel Best Pharmacy at 550 Matheson Blvd W, Unit 106, Mississauga.
