ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive
ellaOne is a contraceptive intended to prevent pregnancy after
unprotected sex or if your contraceptive
method has failed. For example:
-
if you had sex without protection;
-
if your or your partner’s condom tore, slipped or came off, or if
you forgot to use one;
-
if you did not take your contraceptive pill as recommended.
You should take the tablet as soon as possible after sex, and within a
maximum of 5 days (120 hours).
This is because it is more effective if you take it as soon as
possible after unprotected sex.
This medicine is suitable for any woman of childbearing age, including
adolescents.
You can take the tablet at any time in the menstrual cycle.
ellaOne does not work if you are already pregnant

be pregnant. When your period is
late or when you have symptoms of pregnancy (heavy breasts, morning
sickness) you should consult a
doctor or other healthcare professional before taking the tablet.
