SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES IN LEWES
At Wyborns Pharmacy in Lewes, we are dedicated to providing a confidential space for you to inquire about sexual health services or contraception-related matters. Our professional team is always here to offer advice if you are in any doubt. We have a private consultation room in which we can chat with you about any private matters. Contact us on 01273 489898 with any queries, or pop in and see us.
C-Card Scheme
Wyborns are part of the C-Card Scheme entitling those aged under 25 to free condoms. Simply register for the scheme online and ask a member of the team. We will then give you a discreetly packaged bag for you to take.
Contraceptives
Contraceptives for sale at Wyborns Pharmacy include things such as condoms and lube. Recently, a progesterone-only pill known as desogestrel has been changed from a prescription-only medicine to one which can be sold over the counter. This is sold under the brand name ‘Hana’. This avoids the need for a doctor’s appointment so it can be a convenient option. If this is something which may be of use to you, please contact us or pop by and have a chat with our pharmacist, who will ask some safety questions before making the sale.
Morning-after Pill
Wyborns Pharmacy can also issue the free morning-after pill in Lewes to anyone under 25, so if your chosen method of contraception has failed, an emergency hormonal contraceptive can be taken to prevent ovulation and therefore prevent pregnancy. This is usually most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. For further information please visit our page on EHC at Wyborns Pharmacy in Lewes.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea
We also offer chlamydia and gonorrhoea screening and treatment in Lewes, whereby we can give you a kit to take home. This can then be posted to a lab for analysis and you will be contacted about your results. This is a convenient option allowing you to collect your sample at home. This is also free for anyone under 25. If you are notified of a positive result, one of our qualified pharmacist can give you treatment for chlamydia which is normally a course of antibiotics.
