ella is an oral emergency contraceptive pill (a.k.a. morning after pill) containing ulipristal acetate. If you have had unprotected sex, or your contraception has failed, taking ella can help prevent unplanned pregnancy.
ella can be effective for up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. However, like all morning after pills, it is more effective the sooner you take it.
ella comes in 1 convenient, 30-mg pill. That’s it! It is important to take ella as soon as possible, as emergency contraception is most effective the sooner it is taken following unprotected sex or birth control failure.
