Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online in Faro, Portugal. Hi-Doctor connects you with an EU-licensed doctor for a private online consultation. For a flat fee of 35 €, if the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you can receive an electronic prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is designed for EU-wide recognition, though pharmacists retain the right to refuse dispensing.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire and pay the consultation fee. This secure form collects the necessary medical history for the doctor.
  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.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 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 reviews your medical questionnaire to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for you. They will assess factors such as:

  • The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective within 120 hours, or 5 days).
  • Your current menstrual cycle and any existing medical conditions.
  • Any medications you are currently taking that might interact with ellaOne.
  • Allergies to ulipristal acetate (the active ingredient in ellaOne) or any other components.

The doctor's clinical assessment determines if ellaOne is the right emergency contraception for your specific situation. A prescription is never guaranteed.

What Ellaone actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive pill. It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, up to 120 hours (5 days).

Important: ellaOne is not a regular form of birth control, nor is it an abortion pill. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

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

  • Headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disorders.
  • Dizziness, fatigue, and breast tenderness.

If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or any signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling), seek immediate medical attention. If you vomit within three hours of taking ellaOne, contact your doctor as you may need to take another dose.
