How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out our secure 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.

  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent.

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.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ellaOne can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, stomach pain, nausea, and menstrual disturbances. If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or any signs of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention. Always follow the doctor's instructions.
