Who qualifies for treatment

Ulipristal is an emergency contraceptive, sometimes called the 'morning-after pill', effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse. The doctor reviews your medical history, the timing of unprotected sex, and any contraindications to ensure Ulipristal is the safest and most effective option for you. They will consider factors like:

• The exact time elapsed since unprotected intercourse.
• Your current menstrual cycle stage.
• Any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking.
• Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The doctor's primary concern is your health and safety. Not everyone is a candidate for Ulipristal, and the doctor will only issue a prescription if it is medically appropriate.

What Ulipristal actually does (and doesn't do)

Ulipristal acetate (ellaOne) works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. It prevents the release of an egg from the ovary, thereby preventing fertilisation. It is crucial to understand that Ulipristal:

• Is an emergency contraceptive, not a regular birth control method.
• Is effective within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected intercourse. For comparison, Levonorgestrel is effective within 72 hours.
• Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• Does not cause an abortion. It is ineffective if you are already pregnant.

Ulipristal offers a wider window of efficacy (up to 120 hours) compared to other emergency contraceptives, making it a critical option for timely intervention.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Ulipristal can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects may include headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, and menstrual disturbances. Your next period might be early or late. If you experience severe abdominal pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or if your period is more than a week late after taking Ulipristal, you should seek medical advice immediately. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with the medication.
