What is Ella?

Ella is a prescription emergency contraceptive medication containing ulipristal acetate, which works by delaying or preventing ovulation when taken within 120 hours after unprotected intercourse. This selective progesterone receptor modulator is typically used by women who need emergency contraception after birth control failure or unprotected sex. Unlike over-the-counter options, emergency contraception like Ella requires a prescription and offers a longer window of effectiveness. Learn more about related health topics on the Doctronic blog.

Yes, you can get Ella prescribed by a licensed physician online through Doctronic's telemedicine platform.

Ella is used as emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. It works by delaying or preventing ovulation and is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. Ella can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse, making it effective longer than many other emergency contraceptive options.

Yes, Ella requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider and is not available over-the-counter. Unlike some emergency contraceptives that can be purchased without a prescription, Ella contains ulipristal acetate which is a prescription-only medication. Through Doctronic, you can obtain this prescription online after a proper medical evaluation by one of our licensed physicians.

Ella begins working immediately after you take it, but its effectiveness depends on when you take it relative to when you had unprotected sex. It is most effective when taken within 24 hours, but remains effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse. The medication works by delaying ovulation, so timing is crucial for maximum effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.

Common side effects of Ella include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, menstrual changes, dizziness, and fatigue. Some women may experience breast tenderness, vomiting, or changes in their next menstrual period timing or flow. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but you should contact your healthcare provider if you experience severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding.

The typical dosage of Ella is one 30mg tablet taken orally as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. Only one dose is needed, and it should be taken within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected sex for maximum effectiveness. If you vomit within 3 hours of taking Ella, your physician may recommend taking another dose.

Some medications can interact with Ella and reduce its effectiveness, particularly certain drugs that affect liver enzymes. These include some seizure medications, HIV medications, and herbal supplements like St. John's wort. It's important to tell your physician about all medications and supplements you're taking so they can determine if Ella is safe and appropriate for you.

Ella may be right for you if you need emergency contraception within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Your physician will evaluate factors such as your medical history, current medications, and timing since unprotected sex to determine if Ella is appropriate. Through Doctronic's online consultation, our licensed physicians can help assess whether Ella is the best emergency contraceptive option for your specific situation.

If Ella fails to prevent pregnancy, current research suggests it does not appear to harm a developing fetus. However, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately if you suspect the medication was unsuccessful. Your physician can provide guidance on next steps and appropriate care options based on your individual circumstances and preferences.

Store Ella at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) and keep it in its original packaging until you're ready to take it. Keep the medication away from moisture, heat, and direct light, and store it somewhere that children and pets cannot access it. Do not use Ella past its expiration date, as the medication may become less effective over time.
