Can I start birth control in Denmark without a prescription from home?

Hi. I was wondering if I could start on birth control and how I would go on about that? I’m from Denmark and don’t have a receipt from home, but I live here now and would like to go on it. Thank you

Hi,
You can definitely start birth control here in Greece, even if you don’t have a prescription from Denmark. It would be a good idea to first see a gynecologist, just to go over your history and help you choose what suits you best. It’s usually a simple and quick process. If you were already taking a specific pill back in Denmark and you know the name, you can often get it directly from a pharmacy here without a prescription.
If you’d like, I can help you figure out what might be a good option for you.
