In this article

Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment and a prescription for ellaOne online in Rome. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your case discreetly and efficiently. For just 35 €, you can have an online consultation and, if deemed appropriate, receive a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours, which you can present at pharmacies across the EU.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire: Complete a brief, secure medical questionnaire in 2–3 minutes. This provides the doctor with essential information for your assessment. You will also pay the 35 € one-off consultation fee at this stage.
  2. Doctor reviews your case privately: A licensed EU doctor individually reviews your medical information. If the doctor determines that ellaOne treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your consultation fee is refunded automatically. There's no risk – if the doctor says no, you get your money back.
  3. Receive your electronic prescription: If approved, you will receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) directly in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Present your prescription at any EU pharmacy: Print the PDF prescription or show it on your phone at any pharmacy in Italy or across the EU to discuss dispensing your ellaOne medication. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse to dispense.

Who qualifies for treatment

An EU-licensed doctor reviews every case individually to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for you. The doctor looks for specific criteria, including:

  • Timing of unprotected intercourse: ellaOne is effective within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected sex.
  • Medical history: Any existing conditions or medications that might interact with ellaOne or make it unsuitable.
  • Current pregnancy status: ellaOne is not an abortion pill and should not be used if you are already pregnant.
  • Breastfeeding status: Specific considerations apply if you are breastfeeding.

The online questionnaire covers these points thoroughly to allow the doctor to make a comprehensive clinical assessment.

What Ellaone actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive pill. It works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. This prevents fertilisation if unprotected intercourse has already occurred.

  • Effective within 120 hours: It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, but can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) afterwards.
  • Not a regular contraceptive: ellaOne is for emergency use only and does not offer ongoing protection against pregnancy.
  • Not an abortion pill: It does not terminate an existing pregnancy.
  • Does not protect against STIs: It offers no protection 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
  • Nausea
  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Menstrual disturbances (e.g., changes to your next period)
  • Tiredness

These side effects are usually mild and temporary. You should seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or if your next period is more than 7 days late, or unusually light or heavy. Always consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
