Frequently Asked Questions & Policies
- Do I need a prescription to buy birth control online from Buy-Birth-Control.com?
- Yes. By law, a valid prescription is required. Without a legal prescription from your physician, we cannot send your order.
The prescription must be faxed (toll-free 1-866-544-8993) or emailed (rx@buy-birth-control.com) to us in its original form with no changes.
- Why does some of the birth control I ordered look different than birth control from the U.S.?
- Very often the same birth control is packed differently in other countries, and sometimes the same birth control is even called a different name. For example, in the U.S. a birth control pill might come as a round, red tablet; abroad it could be an elongated white tablet. Also, the packaging might be different than its U.S. equivalent. All packages contain a patient leaflet printed in English.
To summarize, the drug you order may have a different:
- Brand name (eg. Dianette
is called Diane on the Buy-Birth-Control.com packaging as it comes from outside the U.S. In the EU Dianette is also known as Estelle-35 even though the manufacturer is the same.
- Packaging (blister pack, box, bottle, etc.)
- Form (tablet, capsule, caplet, round, oval, etc.)
- Color
- Name
The bottom line is: The birth control itself is identical and of the highest quality.

- Can I trust Buy-Birth-Control.com?
- Our pharmacists are fully licensed to practice and are monitored continuously by the authorities
in order to ensure the highest professional standards. Our qualified, licensed pharmacists are allowed to dispense and fill prescriptions, whether it be birth control or any other kind of prescription medication.
- What is the difference between generic and brand name birth control?
- When the patent of a brand name drug expires, drug companies can manufacture exact copies of these drugs, provided they have the exact therapeutic and standard quality as the original. this also applies to birth control medications.
Generic birth control is usually much less expensive because the price no longer reflects the marketing, research, and development costs of the original patent.

- What kind of birth control can not be supplied?
- Being a legal and ethical online birth control drugstore, we are not able to supply drugs that need to be refrigerated.
- Is there any limit to the quantity of birth control I can order at one time?
- US FDA guidelines recommend importing up to a maximum three-month supply of medications at a time. This also applies to birth control.
Buy-Birth-Control.com complies with this recommendation.
- What information must I provide when I place an order?
- The most important piece of information is your prescription, which must be less than a year old and written by a physician licensed to practice medicine and prescribe medications in your country of residence. Prescription birth control cannot be dispensed unless a valid prescription is provided. If you are purchasing a birth control that does not legally require a prescription then we can dispense it to you without a prescription. For example, the purchase of condoms, the morning after pill or spermicidal pessaries. If your choice of birth control does require a prescription then you also will be asked to complete a medical form, where you will need to provide information about your medical history and current medications, as well as your address and phone number and ID number (social security, passport or driver's license number).

- Can I return any of my birth control?
- No. We are prevented by the authorities from taking back any birth control once it has left the pharmacy. Therefore, Buy-Birth-Control.com is unable to accept any returns and there are no refunds on birth control ordered and received.
- Is buying from Buy-Birth-Control.com cheaper than buying birth control locally?
- Branded birth control sold on Buy-Birth-Control.com costs up to 70 percent less than branded birth control sold in the United States. Americans generally save 50 percent on birth control bills when they shop at Buy-Birth-Control.com.
The Ministry of Health in Israel, where we get our birth control from, limits the price for which drug companies can sell their medications, and this is the saving that we pass on to you.
- Why are drugs less expensive at Buy-Birth-Control.com than in the U.S.?
- We source medication from countries that cap the prices of prescription medication. The United States is the only developed country in the world with no similar price controls, and pharmaceutical companies can set prices for their own products, which invariably ends up more favorable to the company than to the consumer.
