Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for ellaOne from an EU-licensed doctor online, even in Waterford. Hi-Doctor provides a confidential, fast, and affordable way to access emergency contraception. For just €35, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case. If the doctor finds treatment appropriate, you receive a prescription within 24 hours, recognised at EU pharmacies (pharmacist discretion applies). If the doctor determines treatment is not suitable, your fee is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps
- Fill the online medical questionnaire: Complete a secure, private medical questionnaire and pay the €35 consultation fee.
- Doctor reviews your case: A licensed EU doctor reviews your information confidentially. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — you pay nothing.
- Receive your prescription: If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account within 24 hours. You will receive an email notification when it's ready.
- Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone. If the doctor approves, the prescription goes through Ireland's own prescription system, and the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether to dispense; they may offer a locally-marketed equivalent.
Who qualifies for treatment
When you complete the online medical questionnaire, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure ellaOne is safe and appropriate for you. This includes the timing of unprotected intercourse (ellaOne is effective up to 120 hours), your menstrual cycle stage, and any relevant medical history or current medications that might contraindicate its use. The doctor's clinical assessment determines if ellaOne is the right emergency contraceptive for your situation.
What ellaOne actually does (and doesn't do)
EllaOne (ulipristal acetate) is an emergency contraceptive that works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. It is effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex. It is NOT a regular form of contraception, nor is it an abortion pill. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Its effectiveness decreases the longer you wait after unprotected intercourse, so timely consultation is crucial.
Need clinical guidance on emergency contraception?
An EU-licensed doctor reviews timing, your medical history and possible interactions and decides which option is appropriate. €35 one-off consultation.

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 signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling). Always follow your doctor's advice and report any concerning symptoms.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
Choosing Hi-Doctor for your ellaOne consultation offers significant advantages over traditional clinic visits:

- Price: A flat €35 one-off online consultation fee, often more affordable and predictable than variable private clinic fees.
- Privacy: Your case is reviewed through a secure online questionnaire, maintaining discretion without reception desk interactions or waiting rooms.
- Convenience: Complete your consultation from your phone, avoiding travel to a city-centre clinic.
