Emergency Contraception Pill
Expert-Led Care for Emergency Contraception Pill
If it's been a few days since your contraceptive mistake or unprotected sex, this 5-day emergency option might be what you need. This prescription is for a medication that remains effective for longer than standard over-the-counter options. Our providers review your request to ensure it's the most effective choice for your situation and body type, giving you a wider window of protection.
Ella (ulipristal acetate) should NOT be taken if you are currently using hormonal contraception (pill, patch, ring, implant, injection) or have used it in the past 5 days, as these drugs reduce each other's effectiveness. If you are on ongoing hormonal contraception, Plan B (levonorgestrel) may be more appropriate — your provider will advise.

How Emergency Contraception Pills Work
Emergency contraception pills help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. They work primarily by delaying or stopping ovulation, reducing the chance of fertilization.
Several factors can influence how effective emergency contraception is, including:
How soon the pill is taken after unprotected sex
Timing within the menstrual cycle
Body weight or BMI
Type of emergency contraception used
Use of certain medications
A provider consultation helps determine the most appropriate option and ensures timely and effective use.
