Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for ellaOne online in Limerick through EU-licensed doctors. Hi-Doctor offers a discreet, efficient service where you can get a doctor's assessment for emergency contraception. Your electronic prescription, if appropriate, is issued within 24 hours for a flat fee of 35€, for presentation at any EU pharmacy.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out our secure online medical questionnaire. This takes just 2–3 minutes and helps our doctors understand your needs. You'll also pay the 35€ consultation fee at this stage.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case individually and in private. If the doctor determines that ellaOne is not appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — there's no risk.
  3. If approved, you will receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) directly in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the EU for the pharmacist to review and potentially dispense the medication.

Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review each case to ensure ellaOne is the right and safe option for you. They assess factors such as:

  • The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective within 120 hours, or 5 days).
  • Your medical history, including any current medications or allergies.
  • Your menstrual cycle and any previous use of emergency contraception.
  • Contraindications that might make ellaOne unsuitable for you.

The doctor's primary concern is your health and safety. They will only issue a prescription if it is clinically appropriate.

What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne contains ulipristal acetate, which works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. It is a highly effective form of emergency contraception when taken within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected sex. It is important to remember:

  • ellaOne is not a regular method of contraception.
  • It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • It does not cause an abortion. If you are already pregnant, ellaOne will not terminate the pregnancy.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medicines, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everybody gets them. Common side effects may include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.

You should seek immediate medical advice if you experience:

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