Medication details

Description

ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive pill manufactured by HRA Pharma. It helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when a contraceptive method has failed. It contains ulipristal acetate, an active ingredient that works by delaying or preventing ovulation, so fertilisation cannot occur.

ellaOne is most effective when taken as soon as possible, but it can be used up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected intercourse. It comes as a single, easy-to-take tablet, offering a reliable emergency contraception option.

ellaOne does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and should not be used as a regular method of contraception. If a pregnancy has already begun, ellaOne will have no effect. For ongoing protection, it is recommended to use a regular contraceptive method after taking ellaOne.

Ingredients

Ulipristal acetate, a selective progesterone receptor modulator.

Side effects

Headache, nausea, abdominal pain, menstrual changes, fatigue, or dizziness.
Less commonly: severe abdominal pain, breast tenderness, vomiting, or mood changes.
Consult a doctor if your period is more than 7 days late or if you experience symptoms suggestive of pregnancy.

Warnings

EllaOne is intended for emergency contraception only and should not be used as a regular method of birth control.
Do not use if you are pregnant, allergic to ulipristal acetate, or have severe uncontrolled asthma.
Effectiveness may be reduced if you are taking certain medications (e.g., St. John’s wort, anticonvulsants, rifampicin).
If vomiting occurs within three hours of taking the tablet, take another dose as soon as possible.
Consult a doctor if your period is more than 7 days late, unusually light, or if you experience any symptoms of pregnancy.

What should I do if I vomit after taking ellaOne?

If you vomit within three hours of taking the tablet, take another tablet as soon as possible and seek advice from a pharmacist or doctor.

Will ellaOne affect my next period?

Your next period may come a few days earlier or later than expected. If it is more than 7 days late or unusually light, take a pregnancy test.
