ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive pill for women seeking to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Its key benefit is its high effectiveness, being up to 2.5 times more effective than older formulations when taken within 24 hours. A key consideration is that its effectiveness may be reduced with increasing body weight, although it remains recommended for all women regardless of weight.

ellaOne contains ulipristal acetate, which works by postponing ovulation by modifying the activity of the natural hormone progesterone. This prevents or delays the release of an egg.
ellaOne should be taken as soon as possible, but no later than 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.
No, ellaOne is for emergency use only and should not be used as a regular method of birth control.
ellaOne is noted to be up to 2.5 times more effective than Levonelle, particularly when taken within 24 hours, and offers a longer timeframe for use (up to 120 hours).
