How to Get ellaOne Online in France

Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for ellaOne from an EU-licensed doctor online in France. Hi-Doctor provides a discreet, fast, and affordable way to access emergency contraception. For a flat fee of 35€, an EU-licensed doctor will review your case, and if appropriate, issue an electronic prescription within 24 hours. If the doctor approves, the prescription goes through France's own prescription system, and the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense; they may dispense a locally marketed equivalent. However, pharmacists retain the right to refuse.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire: Complete our secure, confidential questionnaire. This provides the doctor with essential information about your health and circumstances.
  2. Doctor reviews your case and pays the consultation fee: A licensed EU doctor privately assesses your medical information. If the doctor determines that treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your 35€ consultation fee is refunded automatically – no risk, you pay nothing.
  3. Receive your electronic prescription: If approved, you will receive a valid electronic prescription (as a downloadable PDF file) directly in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email, typically within 24 hours.
  4. Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy in France to collect your ellaOne. The pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense; they may dispense a locally marketed equivalent. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse.

Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each patient's case to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate. The doctor will assess:

  • The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is most effective when taken within 120 hours, or 5 days).
  • Your medical history, including any allergies or existing conditions.
  • Any medications you are currently taking that might interact with ellaOne.
  • Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

This thorough review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment, acting as a gatekeeper to responsible medical care.

What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive pill. It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). If taken within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected intercourse, it can significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy. It is important to understand that ellaOne:

  • Is not a regular method of contraception.
  • Will not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • Is not an abortion pill; it does not work if you are already pregnant.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include headaches, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances (e.g., changes in the timing or flow of your next period). These are usually mild and temporary.

You should seek immediate medical advice if you experience:

  • Severe abdominal pain.
  • Unusual or prolonged bleeding.
  • Symptoms of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).

Always follow your doctor's advice and read the patient leaflet carefully.
