Who qualifies for treatment
The doctor reviews your individual medical history to ensure ellaOne is safe and effective for you. Key factors include:
- The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective up to 120 hours, or 5 days, after).
- Your menstrual cycle stage.
- Any existing medical conditions or medications that might interact with ellaOne.
- Previous allergic reactions to similar medications.
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. It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. This prevents the release of an egg, thereby preventing fertilisation. It is effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse, but its effectiveness decreases over time, so it should be taken as soon as possible.
Important: ellaOne is not a regular form of contraception, nor is it an abortion pill. 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 include:
- Headache
- Nausea or abdominal pain
- Menstrual disturbances (e.g., earlier or later period)
- Dizziness, fatigue
If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or suspect you might be pregnant after taking ellaOne, consult a doctor immediately. If you vomit within three hours of taking ellaOne, you should contact your doctor as you may need another dose.
