The pill online?
women are to be able to get the pill without seeing their GP under a new online service.
Orders will initially be limited to women who have already been prescribed it by their doctor. The pill will be on sale for £29.99. I dont think this is a good idea myself, women going on the pill or already on it should have health checks before using it.... also it can have serious side effects too... Raised blood pressure A very small number of women may develop a blood clot which can block a vein (venous thrombosis) or an artery (arterial thrombosis, heart attack or stroke) A small increase in risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer A small increase in the risk of cervical cancer if the pill is used continuously for more than five years... so why on earth would they sell it online?....some are also saying kids could get their hands on it too:rolleyes: But what is strange is why pay nearly £30 for it when ya can get it free from ya doctor:confused: |

I don't think it's the morning after pill Emzy
Apparently the site will be designed to need proof of being over 18 ie Credit Card details So really the only way kids could get their hands on it would be if someone else bought them, or if they took someone's card People would be able to read up on what the side effects are, then would be left to decide for themselves if they feel safe taking the pill |

Why pay £30 for a 3 month supply when you can go to the docs and get 6 months for free?
Think its wrong anyway. Seeing as when they are prescribed your doc gives you the once over, blood pressure check etc. Any problems they can spot. |
Re: The pill online?
Stupid idea, anyone over the age of 14 can easily get the pill from clinics so young kids can get it anyway, nothing stopping a 14 yr old getting some for herself from one clinic and registering at another to get another lot and pass it on to underage girls. They don't even CHECK your age or details at the clinics either so nothing stopping you from lying to get it.
Don't see why anyone would pay £30 for it. Also, why on earth would it be credit card only? Surely it will accept debit cards? Who buys medication on credit? Over 18's only would neglect the fact that you can legally have sex at 16, so seems silly to me. I haven't looked at the website, just going off what everyone is saying. Pretty pointless in general anyway if you ask me. |

Maybe I am even more confused but how difficult do you find it to input credit card details into the internet? Hardly a difficult task, and quite handy using parents credits card seen as they're normally at parents address. Hell I even have the same initial as MY mum, they couldn't make it easier. Still, I have been going to the clinic since I was 14 yrs old with various friends and know I can get the pill, abortion, STD testing for absolutely nothing, so what difference this scheme makes I do not know. Very naive if you think stopping this online accessibility would stop anything. |
