Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for ellaOne online in Drogheda. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your need for emergency contraception. For a flat fee of 35 €, you get a confidential online consultation, and if appropriate, a valid electronic prescription issued within 24 hours. If the doctor approves, the prescription goes through Ireland's own prescription system, and the pharmacist will review it and decide whether to dispense your medication; they may dispense a locally marketed equivalent.
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 for you, your fee is refunded automatically — there is no risk.

- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy in Ireland. If the doctor approves, the prescription goes through Ireland's own prescription system, and the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense the medication; a pharmacist may dispense a locally marketed equivalent.
Who qualifies for treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually based on your medical history and the timing of unprotected intercourse. They look for specific criteria to ensure ellaOne is safe and effective for you. This includes assessing the time elapsed since unprotected sex (ellaOne is effective up to 120 hours/5 days), any existing medical conditions, and medications that might interact with ellaOne. The doctor's clinical assessment determines if ellaOne is the appropriate emergency contraception for your 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, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. This means fertilisation cannot occur. ellaOne is effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse. It is NOT an abortion pill; it does not terminate an existing pregnancy. It is also NOT a regular form of contraception and should not be used as such. It will not protect you from sexually transmitted infections.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction. Always follow the doctor's instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns or if your period is delayed by more than 7 days after taking ellaOne.
