Who qualifies for treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including:
- The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective up to 120 hours/5 days after).
- Your medical history, including any current medications or known allergies.
- Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Other contraindications that might make ellaOne unsuitable.
The doctor's clinical assessment is crucial to your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.
What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)
ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive, commonly known as the 'morning-after pill.' It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, up to a maximum of 120 hours (5 days).
Important: ellaOne is not a regular form of contraception, nor is it an abortion pill. It will not work if you are already pregnant, and it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include headaches, 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 heavy vaginal bleeding.
- Symptoms of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
Always follow your doctor's advice and the instructions provided with the medication.
