This is a Pharmacy Medicine, therefore you'll need to answer a few short questions so our Pharmacist can ensure that ellaOne (Emergency contraceptive pill) is right for you.

ellaOne® is the most effective morning after pill available*, designed to help prevent unplanned pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It contains ulipristal acetate and can be taken up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. However, it is most effective when taken as soon as possible. ellaOne® is available without a prescription and can be collected in-store at your local McCabes Pharmacy.

Key Benefits:

  • The most effective morning after pill*

  • Can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex

  • Contains 30mg of ulipristal acetate for emergency contraception

How to Use:

  • Take one tablet with water as soon as possible after unprotected sex.

  • Can be taken at any time of day or night.

  • If you vomit within three hours of taking ellaOne®, consult your pharmacist or GP as you may need another dose.

Additional Information:

  • ellaOne® is not intended for regular contraception and should only be used in emergencies.

  • It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

  • If unprotected sex occurs again after taking ellaOne®, it will not prevent pregnancy.

  • Use barrier contraception, such as condoms, until your next period arrives.

Effectiveness: *Studies show that ellaOne® remains effective for up to 5 days after unprotected sex but is most effective when taken immediately. It is 2.5 times more effective than levonorgestrel-based emergency contraception (Levonelle). Approximately 2 in 100 women may still become pregnant despite taking ellaOne®.
