Tickled Pink Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Not sure about the specific brand, but yes you will need to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockDr Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Some of the brands are called different names over here, but you should almost certainly be able to get an equivalent pill with the same ingredients. Yes you have to pay for it. How much will depend on the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum of 5 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 hijust wondering if you have to pay for the contraceptive pill over in ozand do they have the brand marvelon I found this helpful, put in the name of your med and it gives you info on it, if you click on 'view' beside the medicine it gives you info on PBS prices and any premium, and alternative generic brands. Hope it helps http://www.pbs.gov.au/pbs/search?term=&search-type=medicines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I used microginon 30 in the uk. I got a prescription for that here and it was going to be something stupid like $40 a month, so I just got the generic version. $20 for three months. What I hate here is you can't get them without a weeks worth of sugar pills included! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 You could ask doctor in UK for years supply before you go - keep you going for a while. But take paper information with you to a doctor, as the pills are all called different. I ended getting something completely different as they couldnt work out what was equivalent with the name of the one I had. Im sure I paid $30 for 3 months, that was a few years ago now.

I like the sugar pills, I don't have the best memory so it takes away the worry of remembering to start the next packet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahhhh, I have a great memory, so never used to look at the days, just take one, generally in the dark each night. Then along came sugar pills! I ended up having to take the bloomin morning after pill and since then I cut the sugar pills off the packet. Would be much easier if they had the option of not having them. But yay you getting a years worth before you go. That is what I did. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anika Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I got the implant before I left the UK as that lasts for 3 years and I don't really want to have to pay for the pill regardless of whether it cost $20 or $80. Plus my memory isn't the best so the implant actually works better for me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
