Question: how effective is the morning after pill on day 5?
Answer: EllaOne has to be taken within five days (120 hours) of unprotected sex – allowing 48 hours extra than Levonorgestrel. EllaOne is taken as a single tablet. Whereas the effectiveness of Levonorgestrel starts to decrease after 12 hours, ellaOne is thought to remain up to 95% effective throughout the five day window.
