You take the pill and you were afraid of not being able to renew it because of the confinement, do not panic:"The right of women to dispose of their bodies is fundamental and cannot be called into question in times of health crisis “, underlines in a press release Marlène Schiappa, the Secretary of State in charge of equality between men and women.
Women can therefore be reassured that they will be able to receive the contraceptive pill without going through a doctor. You will still need to present an old prescription for the box to be delivered to you. The treatment will be reimbursed under the usual conditions.
This measure is part of a decree published in the Official Journal on March 15. It allows pharmacies to dispense any treatment for a chronic disease until May 31.
According to the Institute for Demographic Studies, the pill remains the most widely used method of contraception in France:35% of 15-49 year olds used it in 2018; 25% of women in this age group use an IUD and 16% a condom.
