Recognition of pharmacists' role in sexual and reproductive health is growing. There is a substantial body of literature on pharmacists' participation in this area of health care that has led to significantly improved access for the public. In this paper, the author examines the current practices of pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care in sexual and reproductive health. This leads into a discussion of the public's interest and other healthcare providers' perceptions of the pharmacist role in sexual and reproductive health. The author argues that pharmacy education in sexual and reproductive health should be re‐examined to better equip practising pharmacists and future pharmacists with the knowledge and skills they need for this sensitive domain. Suggestions on future research in this area are discussed.
