1. What ellaOne is and what it is used for
ellaOne is an emergency contraceptive ellaOne is a contraceptive intended to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if your contraceptive method has failed. For example: • if you had sex without protection; • if your or your partner’s condom tore, slipped or came off, or if you forgot to use one; • if you did not take your contraceptive pill as recommended. You should take ellaOne as soon as possible after sex, and within a maximum of 5 days (120 hours). This is because the sperm can survive up to 5 days in your body after intercourse. ellaOne is suitable for any woman of childbearing age, including adolescents. You can take ellaOne at any time in the menstrual cycle. ellaOne does not work if you are already pregnant. If your menstrual period is late, there is a possibility that you may be pregnant. When your period is late or when you have symptoms of pregnancy (heavy breasts, morning sickness) you should consult a doctor or other healthcare professional before taking ellaOne. If you have unprotected sex after taking ellaOne, it will not stop you from becoming pregnant. Unprotected sex at any time during your cycle can lead to pregnancy. ellaOne is not to be used for regular contraception If you do not have a regular method of contraception, talk to your doctor or healthcare professional to choose one that is suitable for you. How ellaOne works ellaOne contains the substance ulipristal acetate which acts by modifying the activity of the natural hormone progesterone which is necessary for ovulation to occur. As a result, ellaOne works by postponing ovulation. Emergency contraception is not effective in every case. Of 100 women who take ellaOne approximately 2 will become pregnant. ellaOne is a contraceptive used to prevent a pregnancy from starting. If you are already pregnant, it will not interrupt an existing pregnancy. Emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections Only condoms can protect you from sexually transmitted infections. ellaOne will not protect you against HIV infection or any other sexually transmitted diseases (e.g. chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B and syphilis). Ask a healthcare professional for advice if you are worried about this. There is more information about contraception at the end of this leaflet.
2. What you need to know before you use ellaOne Do not take ellaOne
• If you are allergic to ulipristal acetate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warning and precautions
Talk to your pharmacist, doctor or other healthcare professional before taking ellaOne • if your period is late or you have symptoms of pregnancy (heavy breasts, morning sickness), as you may already be pregnant (see section “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility”,!; • if you suffer from severe asthma; • if you suffer from severe liver disease. In all women, emergency contraception should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. There is some evidence that ellaOne may be less effective with increasing body weight or body mass index (BMI), but these data were limited and inconclusive. Therefore, ellaOne is still recommended for all women regardless of their weight or BMI. You are advised to speak to a healthcare professional if you are concerned about any problems related to taking emergency contraception. If you become pregnant despite taking ellaOne, it is important that you see your doctor. See section “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility” for more information.
Other contraceptives and ellaOne
ellaOne may make regular hormonal contraceptives, like pills and patches, temporarily less effective. If you are currently taking hormonal contraception, continue to use it as usual after taking ellaOne, but be sure to use condoms every time you have sex until your next period. Do not use ellaOne together with another emergency contraceptive pill that contains levonorgestrel. By taking them both together, you might make ellaOne less effective.
Other medicines and ellaOne
Tell your pharmacist, doctor or other healthcare professional if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This is especially important if you are taking any of the medicines listed below since they make ellaOne work less well: • Phenytoin, fosphenytoine, phenobarbital, primidone, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine (used to treat epilepsy) • Ritonavir, efavirenz, nevirapine (used to treat HIV infection) • Rifampicin, rifabutin (used to treat tuberculosis) • St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) or herbal medicines that contain it (used for depression or anxiety).

If you are already pregnant it will not interrupt an existing pregnancy. If you become pregnant despite taking ellaOne, there is no evidence that ellaOne will affect your pregnancy.

This is especially important if you have severe abdominal (stomach) pain or bleeding or if you have previously had a pregnancy outside the womb, tubal surgery or long term (chronic) genital infection.

Breast-feeding If you take ellaOne while you are breastfeeding a baby, do not breast-feed for one week after taking ellaOne. During this time, it is recommended to use a breast pump in order to maintain milk production, but throw away your breast milk. The effect of breastfeeding your baby in the week after taking ellaOne is not known. Fertility ellaOne will not affect your future fertility. If you have unprotected sex after taking ellaOne, it will not stop you from becoming pregnant. Therefore it is important you use condoms until your next period. If you wish to start or continue with a regular method of contraception after using ellaOne, you can do so but you should also use condoms until your next period.

Emergency contraception will not affect your fertility. Emergency contraception can delay ovulation within a given menstrual cycle, but it will not stop you from becoming pregnant if you have unprotected sex again. After you take emergency contraception and until your next period comes, you should use a condom every time you have sex. MORE ABOUT REGULAR CONTRACEPTION If you have taken emergency contraception and you do not use a regular contraceptive method (or do not have a contraceptive method that suits you), talk to your doctor or family planning clinic for advice. There are many different types of contraception available, and you should be able to find the right method for you.
