If our medical team determines a potential risk related to a specific prescription or treatment, it will not be issued. Our team will provide recommendations for next steps, including in-person GP visits for further assessment. How long until a clinician or pharmacist responds? A member of the hub.health medical team or a pharmacist (where appropriate) will review your assessment and respond within 24-hours. In most cases, you’ll hear from them sooner than this. Do you handle my repeats? Yes! When you organise your healthcare with hub.health, consider your repeats handled. We’ll ensure you never miss a repeat. How fast will my treatment be delivered and how is it packaged? All treatments will be shipped via express post to anywhere in Australia. You should receive your treatment within 1-3 days, and they’ll arrive in discreet Australia Post packaging. ### Manage your account How do I order treatment once my script has been issued? Once your clinician has issued your prescription, we’ll send an email and SMS with a link to your profile. Log in and head to the notifications tab and you’ll spot the ability to order. Can I speak to my medical team at any time? Of course! Our online platform enables ongoing support whenever you need it.

To request a change of pill brand, log into your profile and start a new consultation. Your clinician will respond within 24-hours. If you’re experiencing any issues, contact our team at help@hub.health. Is the contraceptive pill 100% effective? The contraceptive pill is 99.7% effective when used perfectly. This rate of success drops slightly when human error is considered (when you miss a dose or take it at a different time each day). Are there any side effects associated with taking the contraceptive pill? Like any medication, side effects are a possibility. The hormones in the contraceptive pill may cause side effects, but they usually disappear after a few months. Common side effects include: - Headaches - Nausea - Sore breasts - Period changes - Spotting (bleeding between periods) The contraceptive pill shouldn’t make you feel sick or uncomfortable. So, if you’re experiencing any persisting or prolonging side effects of concern, consult with your hub.health medical team for further review. A change of brands may be required. How does the contraceptive pill work? The contraceptive pill contains two hormones, oestrogen and progesterone, that prevent pregnancy by stopping sperm from reaching an egg and thickening cervical fluid to make it hard for sperm to enter. Does the contraceptive pill prevent STIs? No, the contraceptive doesn’t prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We recommend using a form of barrier protection, like a condom, to help prevent STIs. Can I get pregnant on the contraceptive pill? Yes. Despite the contraceptive pill having a high success rate, it isn’t 100% effective. There is always a slight risk of pregnancy with any form of contraception. ### Can’t find what you need?
