How effective is ellaOne?

Gone are the days when women had to be worried about getting pregnant after having sex. Not only did it spoil the fun of having sex but also made life difficult if proper precautions were not taken. Now, that time is gone and women can have satisfying sex and still not worry about getting pregnant. Let us know how this can be done.

Emergency contraception can help you do this. Emergency contraceptive pills are commonly known as morning after pills or post-coital pills. These medications are specially designed for women to prevent and unwanted pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse.

Most types of emergency contraceptive pills are used up to 3 days after unprotected sexual intercourse. However, a new emergency pill ellaOne has been introduced in the market, which can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sexual intercourse. This makes things easy for women. Though the pill can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex, it is strongly advised that you take it as soon as possible as the effectiveness of the pills reduces as each day passes by.

You should not use these pills regularly as they are meant only for an emergency. These pills contain a female hormone that is responsible for preventing the arteries from releasing the egg. It also alters the lining of the womb and makes it impossible for the fertilised egg to plant itself there.

What is ellaOne?

ellaOne is one of the most recent discoveries in the domain of emergency contraception. These pills are new and very innovative. They can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sexual intercourse. It has a 98% success rate and comes very handy if the condom has torn off during sexual intercourse. It can be even taken if you have not used any sort of contraception. Ulipristal acetate is the active ingredient in ellaOne.

How it works

It works by modifying the natural hormone progesterone, which is responsible for stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg. It is marketed by an European pharmaceutical company, HRA Pharma. This pill was launched in France and USA in October 2009 and since then it has been quite popular. You can buy ellaOne online from a reputed internet-based clinic.
