EllaOne 30 mg Tablet is an emergency contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It offers a single-dose solution that works quickly and effectively. If taken within five days, the ellaOne tablet can significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy.

This emergency pill is ideal if you’ve missed a contraceptive pill, had a condom split, or didn’t use protection. The sooner you take it, the more effective it will be — especially within the first 24 hours.

How the ellaOne Tablet Works

EllaOne contains ulipristal acetate, a hormone-modulating ingredient. It works by delaying ovulation — stopping the release of an egg. If ovulation is postponed, there’s no egg available for fertilisation.

The ellaOne tablet is effective at any point in your menstrual cycle, provided ovulation hasn’t already occurred. This makes it a dependable choice, especially compared to older emergency pills that only work for up to 72 hours.

Why Choose the ellaOne Tablet

EllaOne is the most effective emergency contraceptive available in the UK. It works for up to 120 hours after sex, offering a wider window than other pills. It’s also easy to take — just one tablet with water.

The product is discreet, convenient, and suitable for most women. You don’t need to take it at a specific time of day, and you can use it even if your regular contraception failed.

Important Note

Do not take more than one ellaOne tablet during the same menstrual cycle. After use, your regular contraception may not work as usual, so use condoms for the rest of the cycle. If you vomit within three hours of taking it, consult a healthcare provider — you may need another dose.
