Beskrivelse

ellaOne er en nødprevensjonspille produsert av HRA Pharma. Den hjelper til med å forhindre graviditet etter ubeskyttet samleie eller når en prevensjonsmetode har sviktet. Den inneholder ulipristalacetat, en aktiv ingrediens som virker ved å forsinke eller forhindre eggløsning, slik at befruktning ikke kan skje.

ellaOne er mest effektiv når den tas så snart som mulig, men den kan brukes opptil 5 dager (120 timer) etter ubeskyttet samleie. Den kommer som en enkelt, lett å ta tablett, og tilbyr et pålitelig alternativ for nødprevensjon.

ellaOne beskytter ikke mot seksuelt overførbare infeksjoner (SOI) og bør ikke brukes som en vanlig prevensjonsmetode. Hvis en graviditet allerede har begynt, vil ikke ellaOne ha noen effekt. For kontinuerlig beskyttelse anbefales det å bruke en vanlig prevensjonsmetode etter å ha tatt ellaOne.
