Chlamydia Testing
Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications. Symptoms from this infection are not always visible so the only way to find out if you have it is to get tested.
Tests are simple, painless and generally very reliable—we only need to collect cell samples for lab testing. Westcliff Pharmacy works within the national chlamydia testing and treatment services, so tests are done confidentially and securely. Speak, in confidence, to our pharmacists today to ease your mind of worry.

Emergency Contraception
Also known as postcoital contraception is a form of birth control that women who have had unprotected sex often use. It is a back-up method of protecting against pregnancy. It’s normal, and it happens. The “morning after pill” or EHC needs to be taken within 72 hours after the unprotected sex. But taking it also comes with risk because it only needs to be induced for occasional use.
Consult—in confidence-- with pharmacists today. In the instance that the EHC might not be suitable for you, we’ll be able to guide you to the right alternatives.
