Birth control is such a necessity these days for many women, but getting a hold of it is not as easy as ordering fast food over the phone. Fortunately, thanks to technology, women can now easily buy them without having to go to too much trouble just so they keep a stock of their birth control. An app called Nurx has arrived to save the day.
Customers don’t even need to dial any number and make a phone call to order for the delivery of birth control. According to Hello Giggles, all women need to do these days is to download the Nurx app and fill up their information online. Once they are done with that, the company then sends their details to a doctor for checking and approval.

As soon as the doctor sees that there is no concern on the said form, he could immediately approve it and write a prescription. After prescription was good to go, the company will then send it to the pharmacy and acquire their customer’s request for birth control. This company can deliver all kinds of birth control, except for IUD.
In America, it could take time before you could get a prescription, so this app is really changing the course of things when it comes to the birth control market. For those who have insurance, this service is free of charge. But for those who don’t have it, they are required to pay $15, which is still not a bad deal.
Refinery29 also featured this amazing new service of this app and they too couldn’t agree more that it deserves the title of being the “Uber for birth controls.” In some countries, these pills can be bought over-the-counter, but since that is not applicable in the U.S., this is the best option women have in this country.
