EllaOne

EllaOne is a medication used as emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It contains ulipristal acetate, which works by delaying ovulation, meaning it stops a mature egg from being released and fertilized. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible within 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse. EllaOne is not an abortifacient and does not terminate an existing pregnancy. It is intended for one-time use and should be used as a backup method rather than regular contraception. Consulting a healthcare professional is recommended for guidance.
