Yes, you can get a private medical assessment for Ulipristal (ellaOne) online in Galway. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your case confidentially. For a one-off fee of 35€, you receive a doctor's decision and, if appropriate, a valid electronic prescription within 24 hours. This prescription is accepted at pharmacies across the EU, including in Ireland.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35€ consultation fee. This secure form gathers the necessary medical information for the doctor.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. They assess your medical history and the timing of unprotected intercourse to determine if Ulipristal is appropriate for you. If the doctor decides the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk, 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. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Pharmacists in EU countries, including Ireland, can dispense from this prescription under Directive 2011/24/EU.

Who qualifies for treatment

The doctor assesses several factors to ensure Ulipristal is safe and effective for you. They will review:

  • Timing of unprotected intercourse: Ulipristal is effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.
  • Menstrual cycle stage: This helps determine the risk of pregnancy.
  • Existing medical conditions: Certain conditions or medications can interact with Ulipristal or make it unsuitable.
  • Allergies: To ensure you don't have a known allergy to Ulipristal or its components.
  • Previous use of emergency contraception: To ensure appropriate use and avoid contraindications.

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

What Ulipristal actually does (and doesn't do)

Ulipristal acetate (often sold as ellaOne) 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 intercourse, but can be used up to 120 hours (5 days) later.

Ulipristal is not a regular form of contraception and should not be used as such. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, nor is it an abortion pill; it will not terminate an existing pregnancy.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Ulipristal can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances (e.g., earlier or later period). These are usually mild and temporary.

You should seek immediate medical advice if you experience:

  • Severe abdominal pain, especially if accompanied by shoulder pain (could indicate an ectopic pregnancy).
  • Any symptoms suggestive of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
  • If your next period is more than 7 days late, or unusually light or heavy.
