Who qualifies for treatment

Ulipristal is an emergency contraceptive. The doctor assesses your eligibility based on a few key factors from your medical questionnaire:

  • Timing: Ulipristal is effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse. Levonorgestrel is effective up to 72 hours (3 days). The doctor will determine the most appropriate option based on your timeline.
  • Medical history: Certain conditions or medications might make Ulipristal unsuitable. The doctor reviews your health profile to ensure it's safe for you.
  • Pregnancy status: Ulipristal is not an abortion pill and is not effective if you are already pregnant.

The doctor's role is to ensure the treatment is medically appropriate and safe for your specific situation.

What Ulipristal actually does (and doesn't do)

Ulipristal acetate (often known as ellaOne) is an emergency contraceptive. It works primarily by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. This prevents a sperm and egg from meeting.

  • Effective within 120 hours: It's most effective the sooner you take it, but can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex.
  • Not a regular contraceptive: It's for emergency use only and does not protect against future acts of unprotected sex.
  • Not an abortion pill: It does not terminate an existing pregnancy.
  • Does not protect against STIs: It offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Ulipristal can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and menstrual disturbances (e.g., changes in the next period). These are usually mild and temporary.

You should seek immediate medical advice if you experience:

  • Severe abdominal pain.
  • Unusual or heavy vaginal bleeding.
  • Symptoms of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).

Always inform your doctor about any concerns or unusual symptoms after taking Ulipristal.
