With digital doctor's appointments, TeleClinic allows you to focus on recovering in your own bed when you are ill, rather than having to sit in a waiting room.

It is particularly convenient that the sick note is available directly in the app. It is also a relief that the prescription can be sent to a pharmacy of your choice.

It's quick and easy to speak to a doctor. For any future reasons for using telemedicine, I will definitely use TeleClinic again. Thank you!

I particularly liked the fact that it took less than two hours and I had my prescription, including app download, registration, login and doctor contact. Thank you very much!

Great. Super easy, no fuss. It saves a lot of time and hassle around doctor's appointments. I'll be using it more often now.

You don't have to leave your bed when you're already feeling unwell, and you don't infect anyone on the way to the doctor or in the waiting room. I think that's great!

Frequently asked questions

What does the service cost?

You pay for your contraceptive on receipt of the invoice from the mail-order pharmacy or at your local pharmacy. In addition, there is a treatment fee for issuing the prescription (from €9.97).

Do I need to speak to a doctor?

No, a doctor will check your details in our questionnaire and issue your pill prescription if you are suitable.

How long do I have to wait?

As a rule, you will receive your prescription within 24 hours.

Is my data secure?

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via https. Furthermore, your data is protected against loss by regular backups of our servers.

Can my request be rejected?

Your health is our top priority. That is why an experienced doctor will carefully evaluate your answers to the medical questionnaire. If there are no medical concerns, a prescription will be issued for you and you will receive your medication. In individual cases, your request may therefore be rejected. In such a case, we will refund the treatment fee.

Contraceptive guide

Abstract

Contraceptives reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies.
A distinction is made between mechanical, chemical and hormonal contraceptives, and a prescription is required for the latter in particular.
Hormonal contraception should be tailored to the patient’s lifestyle and health.

Contraceptives: these solutions are available

The effectiveness and safety of contraception vary. Safety is measured by the so-called Pearl Index (number of pregnancies per 100 women). The following over-the-counter and prescription contraceptive options are available:

Contraceptive	Mode of action	Classification	Safety according to the Pearl Index	Prescription only
Condoms and female condoms	Creates a barrier between sperm and uterus, provides additional protection against sexually transmitted diseases.	mechanical	2-12	No
Diaphragm	The contraceptive cap is designed to prevent sperm from entering the uterus.	mechanical	4-10	Yes, fitting by the doctor
IUD or hormonal coil	The IUD simulates pregnancy, additional hormone release increases safety.	mechanical / hormonal	0,9-0,16	Insertion by the doctor/specialist
Birth control pills, also known as micro and mini pills	Hormones simulate pregnancy and thicken the cervical mucus.	Hormonal	0,1-0,5	Yes
Three-month injection	Progestogen-containing active ingredients are injected every three months.	hormonal	0,3-1,4	Injection by a specialist
Hormone rods	A hormone implant is inserted under the skin on the inside of the upper arm.	hormonal	0,1	Insertion by a specialist
Gels, creams, suppositories	The locally applied substances foam up, form a barrier and kill sperm.	Chemical	18-29	No

Mechanical, chemical and hormonal contraceptive methods — {%CAPTION%}

Why can I only get the pill and similar contraceptives on prescription?

Contraceptives containing hormonal active ingredients are only available on prescription. While the doctor is responsible for administering the three-month injection and the IUD anyway, the question sometimes arises as to why the pill is not available without a prescription. This is because every contraceptive of this kind interferes with a woman’s hormonal balance. In addition, not every preparation is suitable for every woman. The following steps are therefore necessary before the first prescription is issued:

In-depth discussion with the doctor: Questions about

State of health,
Age of the patient,
Possible intolerances or chronic diseases,
Consumption of alcohol and nicotine,
Medication taken on a regular basis

Comprehensive investigation:

Ultrasound of the internal genital organs,
Exclusion of an existing pregnancy,
Examination of the external genital organs,
Smear of the cervical mucosa.

Based on the consultation and examination, the gynecologist will prescribe or recommend a pill – or another suitable contraceptive. However, a contraceptive online prescription can be issued as a follow-up prescription without further ado, either by filling out a questionnaire or after a consultation with a doctor.

Questions and answers

Why not buy contraceptives online without a prescription?

Hormone-based contraceptives can cause side effects such as thrombosis if they are not adapted to the patient’s state of health.

Are there contraceptives for men?

Apart from the use of condoms, there are no “contraceptives” that can be used by men. However, men who want to be relatively sure that they will not impregnate a woman can have themselves sterilized (vasectomy) from a certain age and under certain conditions. This involves cutting the vas deferens. This method is considered to be very safe, but it does not provide one hundred percent protection against conception.

How safe are over-the-counter contraceptives?

As the Pearl Index shows, between 2 women (condoms) and 29 women (gels or suppositories) become pregnant for every 100 women using over-the-counter contraception.
