How to Get ellaOne Online in Salzburg

Yes, you can get a doctor's assessment for ellaOne online in Salzburg. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can issue a prescription for emergency contraception after a confidential online consultation. For a flat fee of 35 €, you can have your case reviewed and, if appropriate, receive a prescription within 24 hours, valid at any EU pharmacy.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee. This secure form gathers the necessary medical information for the doctor.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for treatment

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

• Timing: ellaOne is effective within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected intercourse.
• Medical history: Certain conditions or medications can affect the suitability of ellaOne.
• Allergies: Any known allergies to the active substance (ulipristal acetate) or other ingredients.
• Current medications: Some drugs can interact with ellaOne, reducing its effectiveness.

The doctor's clinical assessment is crucial to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive pill containing ulipristal acetate. It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 120 hours (5 days).

Important: ellaOne is not a regular form of contraception and should not be used as such. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), nor is it an abortion pill; it will not work if you are already pregnant.

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 or vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Menstrual disturbances (e.g., changes in the next period)
• Dizziness
• Breast tenderness

If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or any symptoms that concern you, contact a doctor immediately. If you vomit within three hours of taking ellaOne, you should contact a doctor, as you may need to take another dose.
