EllaOne is a form of emergency contraception that comes in tablets. It can be taken up to five days after having unprotected sex, but the earlier you take it, the higher the chances of it being effective.
Emergency contraception is a method of birth control used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex occurs. But even if itโs taken within the ideal timeframe, there is a chance that it wonโt work as expected. Regular contraception methods are much more effective and you shouldnโt replace them with emergency contraception. EllaOne also wonโt protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Only barrier methods of contraception like condoms can do that.
The active ingredient in EllaOne, ulipristal acetate, protects you from becoming pregnant by changing how progesterone in your body works. It does this in three ways. It prevents or delays the ovaries from releasing an egg, it makes your uterine wall thinner, whilst also making your cervical fluid thicker, so sperm canโt move through it as easily.
EllaOne is a single dose, 30mg treatment. Itโs not effective if youโre already pregnant, and itโs not a regular form of contraception. It should only be used if youโve had unprotected sex, if you or your partnerโs condom broke, or if you didnโt take your contraceptive pill the way you should.

EllaOne is usually effective almost immediately after taking it. But there is no definite way to tell if it has worked or not until your next period.
Even if you get your period as usual, you should still take a pregnancy test because thatโs the only definitive way of knowing if youโre pregnant or not. If you have irregular periods, take a pregnancy test 21 days after having unprotected sex.
EllaOne should be taken up to five days after having unprotected sex. If itโs been over five days, you shouldnโt take it at all as it will no longer be effective.
Thereโs only one EllaOne tablet per box, so accidental overdose shouldnโt occur. If you vomit within three hours of taking your tablet, you need to contact a clinician as soon as possible because you may need to take another one.
