How to Get ellaOne Online in Heraklion

Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online in Heraklion, Greece. Hi-Doctor connects you with an EU-licensed doctor for a private online consultation. If the doctor determines treatment is clinically appropriate, you receive a prescription in under 24 hours, which can be presented at EU pharmacies. The one-off consultation fee is just €35.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out a secure online medical questionnaire and pay the €35 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically, so there is 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 and present it at a pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Pharmacists review it and decide whether it can be dispensed, and retain the right to refuse.

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor reviews your medical history and the details of your unprotected intercourse to determine if ellaOne is appropriate for you. They will assess:

  • The timing of unprotected sex: ellaOne is effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after.
  • Any existing medical conditions or medications that might interact with ellaOne.
  • Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The doctor's clinical assessment helps determine the most appropriate treatment for your case.

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. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, up to 120 hours (5 days). ellaOne is NOT a regular form of contraception, 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 headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances. If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or suspect you might be pregnant after taking ellaOne, seek immediate medical attention. If you vomit within three hours of taking ellaOne, contact your doctor as you may need another dose.
