About this Service
Clinically reviewed by licensed pharmacistsAccess to oral contraceptives should be simple and hassle-free. Under Ontario's Minor Ailments program, our licensed pharmacists can prescribe hormonal oral contraceptives for eligible patients — eliminating the need to wait weeks for a doctor's appointment just to renew or start birth control.
Our pharmacists conduct a thorough health history review in a private consultation to ensure you receive the most appropriate contraceptive, screen for any contraindications (such as migraines with aura, clotting history, or certain cardiovascular conditions), and counsel you on proper use, expected side effects, and what to do if you miss a dose.
For patients requiring IUDs, injections, implants, or those with complex medical histories requiring physician-level assessment, 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.
