What is ellaOne?
ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive or 'morning after pill'. It can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after having unprotected sex, which is a long time frame for an emergency contraceptive.
It is one of the most commonly used morning after pills in the UK, with others including:
You can buy ellaOne from your local pharmacy, although you will need to speak to a pharmacist or doctor first.
What is ellaOne used for?
ellaOne is widely prescribed as emergency contraception after unprotected sex if there is a risk that this may lead to unwanted pregnancy. You may be at risk of getting pregnant if you have had unprotected sex, or if your contraception has failed (such as a condom ripping during sex). ellaOne has to be taken within 120 hours (5 days) of having unprotected sex.
As long as it is taken within the necessary time period, ellaOne is thought to be up to 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. This makes it the most effective morning after pill available in the UK.
How effective is ellaOne?
ellaOne is 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. Out of every 100 women who take it, two will become pregnant.
Women who wish to avoid getting pregnant should take an emergency contraception pill as soon as possible after having unprotected sex. A study found that ellaOne may be less effective in women suffering from obesity. Nonetheless, this research is inconclusive, so ellaOne is still recommended for all women.
If you take the tablet and still become pregnant, it is very important that you speak to a doctor as soon as possible.
How does ellaOne work?
ellaOne pills contain the active ingredient ulipristal acetate, which works to prevent your ovaries from releasing an egg during the ovulation period. It also reduces the risk of eggs which may already be in the womb from being fertilised by your partner's sperm.
It comes available in a standard dose of 30mg and can be taken at any point during the menstrual cycle. ellaOne should not be relied upon as a regular form of contraception. It will not protect you from catching sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Who can take ellaOne?
ellaOne may not be suitable for all women to take.
Do not take this pill if you are allergic to ulipristal acetate or any of the other ingredients contained in this medicine.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you buy ellaOne if any of the following apply to you:
- You suffer from severe liver disease
- Your period is late or you are exhibiting symptoms of pregnancy, such as morning sickness or heavy breasts
- You have severe asthma
Read the patient information leaflet for a full list of reasons why ellaOne may be unsuitable for you.
Where can I buy ellaOne over the counter?
You can buy ellaOne over the counter from pharmacies after you have spoken to a doctor or pharmacist. You will still need to answer a few questions before they can give you the morning after pill. Most community pharmacies will allow you to buy ellaOne over the counter.

ellaOne Alternatives
Levonelle is also available to buy from our online pharmacy. This medication is also highly effective at preventing unwanted pregnancies after unprotected sex or if your contraception fails. However, Levonelle must be taken within 72 hours (3 days) of having sex.
To minimise the risk of unwanted pregnancy, it is best to always use some form of contraceptive protection, such as a condom. Regular contraception such as a combined contraceptive pill or the contraceptive patch are other options.
