Hello Alpha Partners with Evofem to Offer Phexxi® as a Hormone-Free Contraception Solution on its Platform for Women's Healthcare
— Leading telemedicine company expands offering with hormone-free birth control as GLP-1 medication usage increases —
— Hello Alpha partnership boosts awareness of and access to Phexxi for millions of women —
Hello Alpha and Phexxi are changing the narratives around women's healthcare and offering solutions that complement GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. These medications can potentially reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills during specific intervals within the dosing cycle. To ensure continued pregnancy prevention, providers on HelloAlpha.com recommend switching to a non-oral birth control method or using an additional non-hormonal birth control method, like Phexxi, alongside oral contraceptives during these times.
Reinforcing Hello Alpha's commitment to improving healthcare for women,
"Women everywhere deserve access to Phexxi, a non-hormonal, on-demand contraceptive method that honors their personal preferences and respects their health autonomy," said Evofem CEO
Phexxi is the first and only FDA-approved hormone-free, locally-acting contraceptive gel. It is applied zero-to-60 minutes before intercourse and works, without hormones, by maintaining the natural vaginal microbiome with a pH that is inhospitable to sperm as well as certain bacterial and viral pathogens.
Hello Alpha, which is available in 50 states plus D.C. and offers virtual care for more than 100 conditions, continues to fulfill its mission to bring convenient, affordable, and accessible medical care, medications, and resources to its patients.
