EllaOne: Your Online Choice for Emergency Contraception

EllaOne is recognised as a highly reliable ‘morning after pill’ or emergency contraceptive. This pill is suggested when there’s a lapse in regular contraception or after unprotected sexual intercourse.

The key ingredient in EllaOne is ulipristal acetate, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. This works by interrupting ovulation, either delaying the release of an egg or hindering the fertilisation of an already released egg. For optimal effectiveness, it’s essential to consume the EllaOne pill within 120 hours following sexual activity. EllaOne doesn’t provide continuous protection against pregnancy, meaning it won’t prevent potential pregnancies from future unprotected sex.

Understanding EllaOne’s Function

The effectiveness of EllaOne is highest when consumed as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. Although it can be used up to five days post-intercourse, its effectiveness gradually diminishes with time. Ideally, it should be taken within 12 hours to prevent about 84% of potential pregnancies. Note that EllaOne does not offer continuous protection against future unprotected intercourse.

Possible Side Effects of EllaOne

While it’s true that EllaOne’s effectiveness in preventing unwanted pregnancies is substantial, it’s also important to be aware that it may have potential side effects. However, remember that not everyone will experience these, and if they do occur, they’re usually mild and temporary.

Very Common Side Effects of EllaOne

Some side effects are relatively common among users. It is normal to experience these, but if any of them persist or worsen, it’s important to consult with your doctor. They include:

  • Feeling nauseous: This is generally mild and short-lived.
  • Irregular bleeding until your next period: Some spotting or unexpected changes in menstrual bleeding are common.
  • Lower abdominal pain: This can mimic the symptoms of a period and typically resolves on its own.
  • Fatigue: Temporary tiredness or feeling lethargic can occur.
  • Headache: A mild headache is common but should not persist.

Common Side Effects of EllaOne

Less frequently, users might experience these common side effects:

  • Vomiting: If vomiting occurs within two hours of taking EllaOne, you need to take another dose and contact your healthcare provider.
  • Irregular periods: Some users might notice changes in their menstrual cycle.
  • Tender breasts: Breast tenderness similar to what some women experience before a period may occur.
  • Diarrhoea: Mild, short-term diarrhoea can occur.
  • Dizziness: Temporary feelings of unsteadiness or lightheadedness are possible.

While these side effects can be unsettling, they typically resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or become severe, immediately consult your healthcare provider. The ultimate goal is to ensure your wellbeing and safety while taking EllaOne, so don’t hesitate to seek advice if you have any concerns.

For more information on EllaOne’s side effects, check out the Patient Information Leaflet.

 

EllaOne and Alcohol: A Safe Combination

Questions regarding the interaction between EllaOne and alcohol are common. Rest assured, there is no known adverse interaction between EllaOne and alcohol. Drinking alcohol will not reduce EllaOne’s effectiveness, meaning you can consume alcohol without affecting the pill’s potential to prevent pregnancy. However, it’s always a good idea to drink responsibly.

 

EllaOne versus Levonelle: Which is the Better Choice?

EllaOne and Levonelle are two well-known morning-after pills. Both can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, but there are key differences to consider. EllaOne can be taken within 120 hours (five days) of unprotected sex, while Levonelle must be used within 72 hours (three days).

EllaOne contains ulipristal acetate, which modifies the activity of progesterone to prevent pregnancy. On the other hand, Levonelle contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic progesterone. Both are effective but their suitability may vary based on individual health circumstances and the time elapsed after unprotected sex.

 

Optimal Timing for Taking EllaOne

The most effective timing for consuming EllaOne is as soon as possible post-unprotected intercourse. The longer the delay, the less effective the pill. If taken around or just after ovulation, the pill may not be effective. Consequently, any released eggs could potentially be fertilised by sperm.

One important aspect to note is that if you vomit within two hours of taking EllaOne, its effectiveness may be compromised. This is because the medication may not have had sufficient time to be fully absorbed into your bloodstream to provide the intended contraception. In such circumstances, it is advised to take another EllaOne pill as soon as possible. If the vomiting persists, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Regular or prolonged episodes of vomiting can interfere with the absorption of many medications, not just EllaOne, so it’s crucial to seek medical advice if you’re unwell.

EllaOne Alternatives

EllaOne is an excellent emergency contraceptive, but there are alternatives available that you can purchase through My Pharmacy UK. The best EllaOne alternatives online are:

For those who prefer a non-hormonal method, the copper IUD, also known as a coil, can be used as emergency contraception within five days of unprotected sex.

We always recommend discussing your options with a healthcare professional before making a decision. Visit our contraceptive products page to explore available alternatives.

 

Ensuring Safe Use of EllaOne

While EllaOne is generally safe, it’s not recommended for regular use. It’s a form of emergency contraception and isn’t a substitute for regular birth control methods. Moreover, EllaOne does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). For protection against STIs, use barrier methods such as condoms.

 

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception

Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if the contraception you have used has failed

There are 2 types of emergency contraception:

the emergency contraceptive pill – Levonelle or ellaOne (the “morning after” pill)
the intrauterine device (IUD or coil)

Emergency contraception
You need to take the emergency contraceptive pill within 3 days (Levonelle) or 5 days (ellaOne) of unprotected sex for it to be effective – the sooner you take it, the more effective it’ll be.
The IUD can be fitted up to 5 days after unprotected sex, or up to 5 days after the earliest time you could have ovulated, for it to be effective.
The IUD is more effective than the contraceptive pill at preventing pregnancy – less than 1% of women who use the IUD get pregnant.
Taking the emergency contraceptive pills Levonelle or ellaOne can give you a headache or tummy pain and make you feel or be sick.
The emergency contraceptive pill can make your next period earlier, later or more painful than usual.
If you’re sick (vomit) within 2 hours of taking Levonelle or 3 hours of taking ellaOne, go to your GP, pharmacist or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic, as you’ll need to take another dose or have an IUD fitted.
If you use the IUD as emergency contraception, it can be left in and used as your regular contraceptive method.

Emergency contraception doesn’t cause an abortion.

How the emergency pill works

Levonelle
Levonelle contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic (man-made) version of the natural hormone progesterone produced by the ovaries.

Taking it, is thought to stop or delay the release of an egg (ovulation).

Levonelle has to be taken within 72 hours (3 days) of sex to prevent pregnancy. It doesn’t interfere with your regular method of contraception.

ellaOne
ellaOne contains ulipristal acetate, which stops progesterone working normally. This also works by stopping or delaying the release of an egg.

ellaOne has to be taken within 120 hours (5 days) of sex to prevent pregnancy.

If you take Levonelle or ellaOne
Levonelle and ellaOne don’t continue to protect you against pregnancy – if you have unprotected sex at any time after taking the emergency pill, you can become pregnant.

They are not intended to be used as a regular form of contraception. But you can use emergency contraception more than once in a menstrual cycle if you need to.

Who can use the emergency pill?
Most women can use the emergency contraceptive pill. This includes women who can’t use hormonal contraception, such as the combined pill and contraceptive patch.
But you may not be able to take the emergency contraceptive pill if you’re allergic to anything in it, have severe asthma or take any medicines that may interact with it, such as:

the herbal medicine St John’s Wort
some medicines used to treat epilepsy, HIV or tuberculosis (TB)
medicine to make your stomach less acidic, such as omeprazole
some less commonly used antibiotics (rifampicin and rifabutin)
ellaOne can’t be used if you’re already taking one of these medicines, as it may not work. Levonelle may still be used, but the dose may need to be increased.

Breastfeeding
Levonelle is safe to take while breastfeeding. Although small amounts of the hormones in the pill may pass into your breast milk, it’s not thought to be harmful to your baby.

The safety of ellaOne during breastfeeding isn’t yet known. The manufacturer recommends that you don’t breastfeed for one week after taking this pill.

How the IUD works as emergency contraception

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped plastic and copper device that’s put into your womb (uterus) by a doctor or nurse.

It releases copper to stop the egg implanting in your womb or being fertilised.

The IUD can be inserted up to 5 days after unprotected sex, or up to 5 days after the earliest time you could have ovulated (released an egg), to prevent pregnancy.

You can also choose to have the IUD left in as an ongoing method of contraception.

How effective is the IUD at preventing pregnancy?
The emergency IUD is the most effective method of emergency contraception – less than 1% of women who use the IUD get pregnant.

It’s more effective than the emergency pill at preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex.

Who can use the IUD?
Most women can use an IUD, including those who are HIV positive. A GP or nurse will ask about your medical history to check if an IUD is suitable for you.

Contraception for the future

If you’re not using a regular method of contraception, you might consider doing so to protect yourself from an unintended pregnancy.

See a GP, nurse or visit your nearest sexual health clinic to discuss the options available.
