How ellaOne works

ellaOne helps reduce the chance of pregnancy mainly by delaying ovulation. It must be taken as soon as possible, within five days of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It does not work after ovulation and will not end an existing pregnancy. No emergency pill is guaranteed to prevent pregnancy.

ellaOne or levonorgestrel?

Our levonorgestrel 1.5mg tablets contain a different ingredient and have a 72-hour licensed time window. Timing, medicines and recent hormonal contraception affect the choice. Do not take both types together. A copper IUD is the most effective emergency option; a sexual health service can assess suitability.

What to do afterwards

The tablet does not protect against pregnancy from sex later in the cycle or against sexually transmitted infections. Ask when to restart regular contraception and how long to use condoms. Arrange a pregnancy test three weeks after the latest unprotected sex, and seek earlier advice for a late or unusual period or pregnancy symptoms.

Further information: ellaOne UK patient leaflet, NHS emergency contraception information, NHS advice after emergency contraception. Read the leaflet supplied with your medicine.

Directions

Take one tablet as soon as possible, no later than 120 hours after unprotected sex, following professional advice. Swallow with water, with or without food. If you vomit within three hours, contact a pharmacist promptly because another dose is needed. Ask for specific advice before restarting hormonal contraception; it is normally delayed for five days after ulipristal, with condoms needed until the method is effective.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains ulipristal acetate 30mg. ellaOne contains lactose. Other ingredients depend on the tablet formulation; use the leaflet supplied with your pack for the complete list, particularly if you have allergies or intolerances.

Warnings

Tell the pharmacist about all medicines used during the past four weeks, including epilepsy, TB or HIV medicines and St John’s wort. Mention severe asthma treated with oral steroids, liver disease, recent hormonal contraception, a late period, possible pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not combine with levonorgestrel emergency contraception.

Side Effects

Headache, nausea, abdominal discomfort and changes to your next period can occur. Seek urgent medical advice for severe abdominal pain, especially with a late period or a positive pregnancy test. Get emergency help for breathing difficulty or severe swelling.

Storage

Keep in the original packaging, out of children’s reach, and follow the expiry date and storage instructions on your supplied pack. Return unwanted tablets to a pharmacy.
