Desogestrel Contraceptive Reclassification

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is considering reclassifying desogestrel contraceptives from prescription-only to pharmacy-available status to improve access to long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and address barriers in commissioning. The issue is linked to the Access to Contraceptive Services Bill and aims to reduce unnecessary gynaecology waiting lists and improve equity of access.
