This is a Pharmacy Medicine, therefore you'll need to answer a few short questions so our Pharmacist can ensure that Morning After Pill is right for you.

The most effective morning after pill available. Take as soon as possible after unprotected sex to protect against pregnancy. Emergency contraception is only available for in-store collection, but can be picked up the same day.

Benefits & Features:

  • The most effective morning after pill
  • Take within 120hrs (5 days) of unprotected sex
  • Available for same-day collection
  • Strength 30mg
  • Pack size 1 tablet

How to use:

  • Take ellaOne within 5 days (120 hours) of unprotected sex.
  • ellaOne can be taken at any point during your menstrual cycle.

Effectiveness:

  • Current studies show ellaOne can be effective at preventing pregnancy for a full 5 days after unprotected sex but should be taken as soon as possible. It is 2.5 times more effective than levonorgestrel (Levonelle).
  • If you are sick within 3hrs of taking ellaOne, you need to take another tablet as soon as possible.
  • If you have unprotected sex after taking ellaOne, it will not stop you from becoming pregnant. After you take the tablet and until your next period comes, you should use condoms every time you have sex.

How it works:

  • Current studies show ellaOne can be effective at preventing pregnancy for a full 5 days after unprotected sex but should be taken as soon as possible. It is 2.5 times more effective than levonorgestrel (Levonelle).
  • If you are sick within 3hrs of taking ellaOne, you need to take another tablet as soon as possible.
  • If you have unprotected sex after taking ellaOne, it will not stop you from becoming pregnant. After you take the tablet and until your next period comes, you should use condoms every time you have sex.

Protect against STIs:

  • ellaOne only protects against pregnancy, not sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you have had unprotected sex, you may be at risk of having an STI.
  • If you are worried you might have a STI, you can visit our STI test clinic for advice, at-home tests and treatments.

Important information about ellaOne:

  • After taking the tablet, it is normal for your next period to be a few days late. However, if your period is more than 7 days late; if it is unusually light or unusually heavy; or if you experience symptoms such as abdominal (stomach) pain, breast tenderness, vomiting or nausea, you may be pregnant. You should do a pregnancy test right away. If you are pregnant, it is important that you see your doctor

Safety: taking other medicines:

  • You should be able to take ellaOne alongside other medicines. However, it is important that you let us know which prescription, over-the-counter medicines and recreational drugs you are taking so that we can prescribe ellaOne safely.
