ellaOne: Morning After Pill (Up to 5 Days)

Understanding ellaOne: Your Ally in Preventing Unplanned Pregnancy

ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive pill designed to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.  It can be a lifesaver if:

• Your condom broke or slipped.
• You forgot to take your birth control pill.
• You were a victim of sexual assault.

How ellaOne Works:

• ellaOne works by delaying ovulation, the release of an egg from your ovary. This prevents sperm from fertilizing the egg and reduces the risk of pregnancy.  The sooner you take ellaOne after unprotected sex, the more effective it is.

Benefits of Choosing ellaOne:

• Highly Effective: ellaOne is one of the most effective emergency contraceptive pills available, offering protection up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex.
• Discreet and Convenient: ellaOne is available over-the-counter at pharmacies and can be taken at any point during your menstrual cycle.
• Safe for Most Women: ellaOne is safe for most women, but it's important to consult a healthcare professional if you have any underlying medical conditions.
  
  

Who Can Benefit from ellaOne?

ellaOne is a suitable option for most women of childbearing age who require emergency contraception after unprotected sex. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before taking ellaOne if you:

• Have a known allergy to ulipristal acetate or any other ingredients in the pill.
• Have severe liver disease or severe asthma.
• Are already pregnant.
  
  

Taking Control of Your Reproductive Health:

• Unplanned pregnancy can be stressful.  ellaOne empowers you to take control of your reproductive health by offering a safe and effective solution after unprotected sex.

Important Information:

• ellaOne does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).  Always use condoms for complete protection against STIs.
