How to Get ellaOne Online in Barcelona

Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for ellaOne from an EU-licensed doctor online in Barcelona. If deemed appropriate, you receive a prescription valid at an EU pharmacy. The one-off consultation fee is just 35 €, and a prescription can be issued within 24 hours.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out a secure online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case privately. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically — there is no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy to collect your medication. The prescription goes through Spain’s own prescription system, and the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense.

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor reviews your medical history and specific circumstances to determine if ellaOne is appropriate for you. Key factors include:

  • The timing of unprotected intercourse: ellaOne is effective within 120 hours (5 days).
  • Your current menstrual cycle and any existing medical conditions.
  • Other medications you may be taking, as some can interact with ellaOne.
  • Your weight, as efficacy may be reduced in women weighing over 85 kg or with a BMI over 30.

The doctor's assessment ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive, commonly known as the 'morning-after pill.' It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, up to 120 hours (5 days).

ellaOne is not a regular form of contraception, nor is it an abortion pill. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Need clinical guidance on emergency contraception?

An EU-licensed doctor reviews timing, your medical history and possible interactions and decides which option is appropriate. €35 one-off consultation.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of ellaOne are usually mild and temporary. They can include headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, and menstrual disturbances. If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or suspect you might be pregnant, seek medical attention immediately. Always follow the doctor's instructions and package leaflet information.
