Who qualifies for treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors assess your individual case through the confidential online questionnaire. They look for specific criteria to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for you, focusing on:
- The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective within 120 hours, or 5 days).
- Your medical history, including any current medications or known allergies.
- Contraindications, such as severe asthma requiring oral glucocorticoid treatment or known hypersensitivity to ulipristal acetate.
- Whether ellaOne is the most suitable emergency contraception for your situation.
The doctor's professional clinical assessment is paramount in determining eligibility.
What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)
ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive, commonly known as the 'morning-after pill.' It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. This means it prevents the release of an egg from your ovary, stopping fertilisation from occurring. ellaOne is effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.
It is crucial to understand that ellaOne is not a regular form of contraception and should not be used as such. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), nor is it an abortion pill; it will 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 include headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, and menstrual disturbances (e.g., changes to your next period). These are usually mild and temporary.
You should seek immediate medical advice if you experience:
- Severe lower abdominal pain, especially if accompanied by shoulder pain, which could indicate an ectopic pregnancy.
- Any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
- Unusual or prolonged vaginal bleeding.
Always discuss any concerns with a healthcare professional.
