Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online in Mechelen. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can issue a private electronic prescription for emergency contraception. Your consultation costs just 35 €, and if appropriate, you'll receive your prescription within 24 hours.

How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
- Fill out our secure online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee.
- 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.

Who qualifies for treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria, including the timing of unprotected intercourse, your menstrual cycle stage, and your medical history. ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive, effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.
What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)
ellaOne contains ulipristal acetate, which works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. This prevents fertilisation if unprotected intercourse has occurred. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, within the 120-hour window. ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive; it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, nor is it an abortion pill.
