The pros of the pill
The most widely used birth control method for women aged between 16-45, the pill is popular for a few good reasons — it’s most effective if taken correctly, easy to use and can be stopped at any time.
Besides preventing unplanned pregnancy, the pill can also be used to regulate periods, making them less painful and lighter, as well as reduce PMS symptoms, and can even be used to treat acne.
Our Partner Doctors can assist you with over 30 different brands and generics of birth control, to find you a solution that works for your body and your budget.

Can I get a prescription for my existing brand of birth control when I sign up to Contro?
Yes! We currently offer over 30 brands of birth control via our Partner Pharmacy.
As an existing birth control user, you will still be required to complete our secure online health questionnaire and have a once-off virtual consultation with one of our Partner Doctors in order for them to generate a new prescription for you. When completing your health assessment you will have the opportunity to request your existing brand of birth control. Your assigned Partner Doctor may ask a few extra health questions during your virtual consultation before confirming your prescription.

How much does Contro’s service cost?
All customers will pay our R150 service fee each month.
Cash customers will additionally be charged for the cost of their prescribed medication each month. The price can vary and will depend on which brand or generic your assigned Partner Doctor prescribes you. If you are new to birth control, you can select the amount you’re willing to spend a month all-in-all inclusive of our service fee on your health assessment.
The total subscription cost for cash customers will be between R240 – R400 p/m depending on the price of your prescribed medication.
The total subscription cost for medical aid customers will be R150 p/m.
How am I charged for my subscription plan?
All customers are charged their first month’s R150 service fee at checkout. This is non-refundable. After a successful consultation, cash customers will be charged again for the price of their prescribed medication.
For the preceding months of the subscription, cash customers will be charged our R150 service fee combined with the cost of their medication in a single transaction. The first subscription repeat cycle is shortened to 21-23 days to create a delivery-buffer for the preceding months, thereafter, customers are charged every 28 days for as long as they remain a subscriber.
Medical aid customers are only charged our R150 service fee on each subscription repeat date. As above, the first subscription repeat cycle is shortened to 21-23 days to create a delivery-buffer for the preceding months, thereafter, customers are charged every 28 days for as long as they remain a subscriber.

Can I claim through my medical aid?
Our Partner Pharmacy will make the claim for your medication with your medical aid scheme each month. If your claim is unsuccessful we will reach out to you and confirm you are happy to switch to paying privately for your medication each month instead.
If you are unsure whether your medical aid scheme will cover your prescribed medication, or allow you to use your savings to pay for your prescribed medication, please contact your provider.
Will the price of my subscription change?
If you have any questions please contact our Customer Care Team at support@contro.co.za.
When and how is my medication delivered to me?
After a successful consultation, your assigned Partner Doctor will produce a repeat prescription for your prescribed medication which is sent electronically to our Partner Pharmacy. Our Partner Pharmacy will contact you telephonically to confirm your details and delivery address, and will make a claim on your behalf if you have provided medical aid details.
Their pharmacy team will prepare and despatch your medication to your chosen delivery address. Once your order has been despatched, delivery time is 1-3 business days.
You will receive an SMS from our Partner Pharmacy to notify you that your medication has been despatched each month. This will contain a tracking number that will allow you to track your medication with the applicable courier service here.
Please note, you cannot change your delivery address once payment has been processed and your prescription has been sent to our Partner Pharmacy for processing.

Excellent from start to finish!

Great service
Honestly the doctor consultation was great and they prescribed the best contraceptives, delivery was bit shakey but the sorted it out in a day and I got my parcel! They agents continuously checked on and updated me through out the process! Absolutely recommend.
Wow - What an incredible service
Filled out the online form, had a few automatic emails to get a telephonic call from a doctor and wow. Super friendly Doctor, very helpful, explained everything I needed to know about the medication and meds dispatched within a day to my home. Greatest service ever.
This is the most genius thing ever
This is the most genius thing ever! Quick consultation with expert advice. Got my delivery a day after - to my door. I don’t have to pay doctors fees and prescriptions which is close to 1k. Extremely affordable and convenient. Love it!
Everything is simple and you won't be disappointed!!
The response and the next step is always clear and communicated immediately. I loved my phone call consultation with Dr. Wihcone Mouton as she made me feel so comfortable. My medication was delivered quickly and in time for me to take it. I am so grateful that Contro exists
Efficient and Discreet
Brilliant service. Very quick, easy, efficient and discreet. This is great for people who don't have the time, or in many cases the nerve to go to a doctor in person to get their medication scripts. I recommend this service 100%
