Boots To Sell Lower Cost Contraception

Boots has confirmed that it will sell a lower-cost version of progestogen-based emergency contraception throughout its stores.

Earlier this year, Boots said it would keep the price of the emergency contraception high in order to prevent "inappropriate use". The change will come into effect from October.

Currently, the store sells Levonelle (priced at £28.25) and its own brand (£26.75), but now a further generic will be sold for £15.99.

In a statement released today, Boots said it had listened to its customers' feedback and had started to provide a cheaper version of emergency contraception in some stores, with plans to make this version widely available in October. However, the company also issued another legal warning towards bpas, demanding that the charity withdraw its press release detailing the company's previous legal warning.

Earlier this year, people were able to contact senior executives at Boots via a form on the bpas website. It has been alleged that those executives were harrassed and abused in some of those correspondences.

Clare Murphy, Director of External Affairs at bpas, said: "We are pleased to see that in future Boots will be providing a cheaper emergency contraceptive product across its stores nationwide. We are extremely saddened that Boots feels the need to resort to legal warnings against a charity representing the concerns of women in the process."
