Medication Description

Ella (ulipristal acetate) is a prescription emergency contraceptive pill used to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is a progesterone receptor modulator that delays ovulation to reduce the risk of fertilization. Ella is effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse and is most effective when taken as soon as possible.

Ella is not intended for routine contraception and should not be used more than once during the same menstrual cycle. It is not effective if a woman is already pregnant and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

How to Use:

The manufacturer recommends taking one 30 mg tablet by mouth as soon as possible after unprotected sex

Can be taken with or without food

If vomiting occurs within 3 hours of taking the tablet, consult a healthcare provider—another dose may be needed

Warnings:

Not recommended for women who are already pregnant

Use a reliable form of birth control after taking Ella for the rest of the menstrual cycle

May affect the timing of your next period—consult a provider if your period is more than 1 week late

Talk to a healthcare provider before using if you are on medications that may reduce its effectiveness (certain anticonvulsants, St. John’s Wort)
Side Effects

Side effects may include headache, nausea, breast tenderness, dizziness, and menstrual bleeding irregularities. If vomiting within 3 hours after taking dose, a repeat dose may be considered to ensure efficacy.
