How do I buy contraceptive pills in Malta?

Contraceptive pills are prescription medicines in Malta. Even the mini pill requires a prescription in Malta.

 

See your doctor (GP or gynaecologist) for a prescription for contraceptive pills. They are likely to ask you questions about your health and take your blood pressure. You can get a repeat prescription; in Malta this means it's valid for 6 months or 12 months. You can buy the contraceptive pills with a doctor's prescription at any pharmacy in Malta and Gozo. Once your prescription expires, see your doctor again to have it renewed.

 

The contraceptive pill usually costs 8 to 12 Euros per month, depending on the brand.
