EllaOne is a hormone-based emergency contraceptive used to prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (e.g., condom breakage or missed birth control pills). It contains ulipristal acetate, a selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM).
EllaOne works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. If ovulation has already occurred, it may not be effective, and it does not terminate an existing pregnancy. Ulipristal binds to progesterone receptors, blocking the natural hormone progesterone which is needed for ovulation to occur.
EllaOne is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 24 hours, but it can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after. Clinical studies show that it remains more effective over the 5-day window than levonorgestrel-based emergency contraceptives.
EllaOne is not intended for regular contraceptive use and should not be used more than once within the same menstrual cycle. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Benefits of EllaOne include a longer window of efficacy than other emergency contraceptives, high effectiveness when taken promptly, and well-tolerated safety profile.
Common side effects may include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities, and fatigue. It should not be used by women who are already pregnant, and caution is advised for those using hormonal contraceptives, as their effectiveness may be temporarily reduced following EllaOne.
