Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online in Nicosia. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can provide a private, online consultation for emergency contraception. Here's how: for just 35 €, you can get a medical review and, if appropriate, a downloadable electronic prescription within 24 hours, valid for pickup at any EU pharmacy.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire: Provide your medical history and answer questions relevant to emergency contraception. You also pay the 35 € consultation fee at this step.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private: An EU-licensed doctor individually assesses your information. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing. It's a no-risk consultation.
  3. Receive your valid electronic prescription: If approved, you get a valid electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) electronic prescription as a downloadable PDF file. It arrives in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours of your case review.
  4. Collect your medication at any EU pharmacy: Print the PDF prescription or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your ellaOne. While the valid electronic prescription is designed for EU-wide recognition under Directive 2011/24/EU, pharmacists retain the right to refuse dispensing.

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor reviews your case to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for your situation. They look for:

  • Timing of unprotected intercourse: ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.
  • Medical history: Certain conditions or medications can interact with ellaOne or make it unsuitable.
  • Current cycle stage: This helps the doctor assess the risk of pregnancy.

The doctor's clinical assessment determines if ellaOne is the right emergency contraception for you.

What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive, often called the 'morning-after pill.' It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg. It is effective within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected intercourse.

It does NOT:

  • Interrupt an existing pregnancy.
  • Protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • Act as a regular method of contraception.

ellaOne is for emergency use only and should not replace routine birth control.

Side effects and when to stop

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

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Severe abdominal pain or unusual bleeding.
  • Symptoms of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling).

Always follow your doctor's advice and consult them if you have concerns.
