Hormonal Contraception – Resupply / Continuation

Record a hormonal contraception resupply or continuation, guided by the protocol that applies in your jurisdiction. Supported in the ACT, NSW, SA and WA, each with its own medicines, eligibility, contraindications and reference material – oral contraception resupply is covered throughout, and some states also allow the vaginal ring and DMPA.

Start from the patient's current medicine, work through the consult, and record the outcome. Work through it step by step as a wizard, or as a single continuous scroll. Any referral you make during the consult is added to the patient's referral list, where you can see and manage it.

A Hormonal Contraception Consult in continuous mode: the section rail on the left, the Medicine and Eligibility steps in the centre, and the NSW Reference panel on the right listing the permitted methods – progestogen-only pill, combined oral contraceptive, vaginal ring and DMPA
An oral contraceptive pill resupply: the medicines and reference follow the NSW protocol.

Dispense history remembers your range, and defaults to 12 months. The dispense history panel now keeps the range you last chose instead of reverting, and defaults to 12 months (was 6) – so longer-interval medicines like Prolia show up without changing the range.
