Detalii despre medicament

Descriere

ellaOne este o pilulă contraceptivă de urgență fabricată de HRA Pharma. Ajută la prevenirea sarcinii după un contact sexual neprotejat sau când o metodă contraceptivă a eșuat. Conține acetat de ulipristal, un ingredient activ care acționează prin întârzierea sau prevenirea ovulației, astfel încât fertilizarea să nu poată avea loc.

ellaOne este cea mai eficientă dacă este luată cât mai curând posibil, dar poate fi utilizată până la 5 zile (120 de ore) după contactul sexual neprotejat. Este disponibilă sub formă de tabletă unică, ușor de administrat, oferind o opțiune de contracepție de urgență fiabilă.

ellaOne nu protejează împotriva infecțiilor cu transmitere sexuală (ITS) și nu trebuie utilizată ca metodă contraceptivă regulată. Dacă sarcina a început deja, ellaOne nu va avea niciun efect. Pentru protecție continuă, se recomandă utilizarea unei metode contraceptive regulate după administrarea ellaOne.
