Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have taken EllaOne once as the condom has split. If I wanted to have sex again with a condom on, would I need to take another EllaOne pill?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
EllaOne (Ulipristal acetate 30 mg). It is rarely used as an immediate pill and you took it after condom split. Levonorgestrel is an instant pill. But there is no issue as both are potent drugs to prevent pregnancy. A second tablet is only needed if vomiting occurs within three hours.
Seizure drugs will decrease its efficacy and 0.9 % to 2 % is the failure rate. Adverse effects are nausea, headache, and dysmenorrhea. Menstrual bleeding for the next period may be earlier or later than expected and you can use a condom for next time sex. There is no need for another EllaOne.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
