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.
