If your menstrual period is overdue, there’s a chance you could be pregnant. It’s important to seek advice from a doctor or another healthcare professional if your period is late or if you’re experiencing symptoms of pregnancy such as swollen breasts or morning sickness before taking the tablet. It’s crucial to note that taking the tablet does not prevent pregnancy if you engage in unprotected sex afterward, as unprotected intercourse at any point in your cycle can result in pregnancy. EllaOne is not intended for regular contraception purposes. If you lack a consistent method of contraception, it’s advisable to discuss with your doctor or healthcare provider or visit our Contraceptive Treatments  page where we have plenty of options recommended by our trusted Medical team such as Cilique.

Do not take EllaOne if you are allergic to ulipristal acetate or any of the other ingredients listed in section 6 of the Patient Information Leaflet. Consult your Doctor if you suffer from severe asthma or severe liver disease. While there is some evidence suggesting that EllaOne may be less effective with increasing body weight or body mass index (BMI), it’s still recommended for all women regardless of weight or BMI. If you have any concerns regarding emergency contraception, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional. In the event of pregnancy despite taking EllaOne, it’s important to consult your doctor. EllaOne may temporarily reduce the effectiveness of regular hormonal contraceptives like pills and patches. If you’re currently on hormonal contraception, continue using it as usual after taking EllaOne, but ensure to use condoms every time you have intercourse until your next period. Do not combine EllaOne with another emergency contraceptive pill containing levonorgestrel, as doing so may decrease the effectiveness of EllaOne. For full details refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.

If you are unable to take EllaOne visit our Emergency Contraceptive  homepage where we have alternatives such as Levonelle

Always adhere to the instructions provided in this leaflet or as directed by your pharmacist, doctor, or another healthcare professional. If you’re uncertain, consult your pharmacist or doctor for clarification. To take the EllaOne film-coated tablet, consume one tablet orally as promptly as possible and no later than 5 days (120 hours) following unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. It’s essential to take the tablet without delay. You can ingest the tablet at any point in your menstrual cycle and at any time of the day. If you vomit within 3 hours of taking the tablet, consult a medical professional as another tablet may have to be taken imminently. For further details refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.
