* If you want to obtain '''birth control pills''' ("antibabypillen" in German), you will need a prescription.

If you don't have a prescription yet, you will want to ensure that, ideally, you first have Austrian health insurance. You can then visit an Austrian gynecologist, who will write you a prescription.

However, you should note that it can sometimes take a while to see an Austrian gynecologist, and the wait times for an appointment can be quite lengthy. | * If you want to obtain '''birth control pills''' ("antibabypillen" in German), you will need a prescription.
