Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online in Bologna. If you need emergency contraception, Hi-Doctor provides a fast, private, and secure way to consult with an EU-licensed doctor. For a flat fee of 35€, a doctor will review your case, and if appropriate, issue a valid electronic prescription under 24 hours. This prescription can be presented at EU pharmacies, though pharmacists retain the right to refuse or dispense a locally-marketed equivalent.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire and pay the 35€ consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk; if the doctor says no, you get your money back.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your secure Hi-Doctor account. A notification email is also sent. This happens under 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU. Pharmacists will review the PDF and may dispense the medication or a locally-marketed equivalent. They retain the right to refuse.

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor assesses your eligibility for ellaOne based on your medical history and the timing of unprotected intercourse. ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex. The doctor will consider factors such as:

  • The time elapsed since unprotected sex.
  • Your menstrual cycle stage.
  • Any existing medical conditions or medications that might interact with ellaOne.
  • Contraindications like severe asthma or hypersensitivity to the ingredients.

The doctor's clinical assessment helps determine if ellaOne is the appropriate and safest option for your situation.

What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive that works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, up to 120 hours (5 days). It is NOT a regular form of birth control, nor is it an abortion pill. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

For optimal effectiveness, ellaOne should be used only as a backup method, not as a primary contraceptive. If you have already ovulated, ellaOne may not be effective.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, swelling), seek immediate medical attention. If you vomit within three hours of taking ellaOne, contact your doctor as you may need another dose.
