Ella Description

This medication is used by women to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or birth control failure (such as a broken condom). This medication is an emergency contraceptive and should not be used as a regular form of birth control. It is a progestin hormone that prevents pregnancy by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) and changing the womb and cervical mucus to make it more difficult for an egg to meet sperm (fertilization) or attach to the wall of the womb (implantation).
Using this medication will not stop an existing pregnancy or protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).

Ella Directions

Take 1 tablet by mouth, with or without food, as soon as possible after unprotected sex. This medication works best when it is taken within 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex. Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
If you vomit within 3 hours of taking this medication, contact your doctor to discuss whether you need to repeat the dose.
The amount and timing of your period may be irregular after taking this medication. Tell your doctor immediately if your period is more than 7 days late. You may need to take a pregnancy test.
Because you can become pregnant soon after treatment with ulipristal, you should continue using your regular method of birth control immediately. Using a barrier-type birth control (such as condoms, diaphragm) is recommended every time you have sex during the same menstrual cycle that you took ulipristal.

Ella Side Effects

Headache, nausea, abdominal pain, tiredness, dizziness, or painful menstrual periods may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor immediately if this rare but serious side effect occurs: severe lower abdominal pain (especially 3 to 5 weeks after taking ulipristal).
