If you are in Cork and need emergency contraception, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online through Hi-Doctor. Our EU-licensed doctors provide a private consultation for just 35 €. If appropriate, you receive a prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is designed for EU-wide recognition, but pharmacists retain the right to refuse dispensing. This service is fast, discreet, and designed for your convenience.
How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee securely.
- A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
- If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it to the pharmacist. In Ireland, the prescription goes through Ireland's own prescription system; the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense and may dispense a locally marketed equivalent. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse dispensing.
Who qualifies for treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure ellaOne is the right choice for you. The consultation focuses on the timing of unprotected intercourse, your menstrual cycle stage, and your medical history. Doctors look for:
- Unprotected sexual intercourse within the last 120 hours (5 days).
- No existing pregnancy.
- No contraindications with other medications you may be taking.
- No known allergies to ellaOne's components.
The doctor's clinical assessment determines if ellaOne is appropriate and safe for your specific situation.
What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)
ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive. It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from your ovary. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, up to 120 hours (5 days) later.
Important: ellaOne is NOT a regular contraceptive. It will not protect you from future acts of unprotected sex. It is also NOT an abortion pill and will not terminate an existing pregnancy. It 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 may include headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, and menstrual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.
You should seek medical advice immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction. If you vomit within three hours of taking ellaOne, contact your doctor as another dose may be needed.
