Who qualifies for treatment

Doctors assess your eligibility for ellaOne based on specific criteria. They look for:

• Unprotected intercourse within the last 120 hours (5 days).
• No known allergies to ulipristal acetate or other ingredients.
• No severe liver problems or other contraindications.
• No current use of medications that may reduce ellaOne's effectiveness.
• Confirmation that ellaOne is for emergency contraception and not for regular birth control.

The doctor's clinical assessment ensures your safety and the appropriateness of the medication for your specific situation.

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. This prevents fertilisation if unprotected intercourse has occurred. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, but can be effective up to 120 hours (5 days) later.

Important: ellaOne is not an abortion pill. It does not work if you are already pregnant. It also does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medicines, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everybody gets them. Common side effects include:

• Headache
• Stomach pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Menstrual disturbances (e.g., earlier or later period)
• Breast tenderness

These side effects are usually mild and temporary. You should seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or if your next period is more than 7 days late, as this could indicate pregnancy. Always follow your doctor's instructions and the information provided with your medication.
