Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online in Lugo, Spain. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can issue a private, digital prescription for ellaOne, if appropriate. The entire process is online, costs just 35€, and you could have your prescription within 24 hours, ready to be filled at any EU pharmacy.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) 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 — no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for treatment

When you complete the online medical questionnaire, the doctor assesses your case to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for you. They will look for key information such as:

  • The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective within 120 hours, or 5 days).
  • Your current menstrual cycle stage.
  • Any existing medical conditions or medications that might interact with ellaOne.
  • Allergies to ulipristal acetate or other components.

The doctor's clinical assessment determines if ellaOne is the correct emergency contraception for your specific 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 fertilisation if unprotected intercourse has occurred. It is effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.

Important: ellaOne is not a regular contraceptive method, nor is it an abortion pill. It will not terminate an existing pregnancy, and it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medicines, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everybody gets them. Common side effects include:

  • Headache
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea
  • Menstrual disturbances (e.g., earlier or later period)
  • Fatigue

If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or any symptoms that concern you, contact a doctor immediately. If your period is more than 7 days late after taking ellaOne, you should take a pregnancy test.
