If you are in San Ġwann, Malta, and need emergency contraception, Hi-Doctor provides a fast, confidential service.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out the secure online medical questionnaire and pay the 35 € consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid 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. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse dispensing.

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor reviews your medical history and specific circumstances to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for you. They will assess:

  • The timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective up to 120 hours, or 5 days, after).
  • Your menstrual cycle stage.
  • Any existing medical conditions or medications that might interact with ellaOne.
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The doctor's primary concern is your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)

ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive. 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, but can be effective up to 120 hours (5 days).

ellaOne is not a regular form of contraception and should not be used as such. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

It is important to understand that ellaOne is not an abortion pill; it does not terminate an existing pregnancy. If you are already pregnant, ellaOne will not work.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ellaOne can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or any symptoms that concern you after taking ellaOne. Always read the patient leaflet provided with the medication for a full list of side effects and warnings.
