Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for Ulipristal, an emergency contraceptive, from an EU-licensed doctor online. If appropriate, you receive a prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any EU pharmacy, including those in Leuven, Belgium. The consultation costs a flat 35 €, and if the doctor determines treatment is not suitable, you get your money back – no risk.

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 collects your medical history and details relevant to emergency contraception.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our doctors individually assess your information. 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. Pharmacists will review the PDF and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent. Please note that pharmacists retain the right to refuse to dispense.

Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors review your case to ensure Ulipristal is the appropriate emergency contraception for you. They assess factors such as:

  • Timing: Ulipristal is effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse. Levonorgestrel is effective within 72 hours. The doctor will determine which is most suitable.
  • Medical history: Certain conditions or medications can make Ulipristal unsuitable. The doctor reviews your full medical questionnaire for contraindications.
  • Cycle stage: The timing within your menstrual cycle is crucial for effective emergency contraception.

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

What Ulipristal actually does (and doesn't do)

Ulipristal (often known by the brand name ellaOne) is an emergency contraceptive. It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. This prevents the release of an egg, thus preventing fertilisation.

  • It is not a regular contraceptive: Ulipristal is for emergency use only after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.
  • It is not an abortion pill: Ulipristal does not interrupt an existing pregnancy. It is ineffective if pregnancy has already been established.
  • Timeliness is key: It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, up to a maximum of 120 hours (5 days).

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Ulipristal can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, abdominal pain, nausea, and menstrual disturbances. Your period might be earlier or later than expected.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Severe abdominal pain, especially if accompanied by shoulder pain, which could indicate an ectopic pregnancy.
  • Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).

Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are concerned about side effects or if your period is more than 7 days late after taking Ulipristal.
