Request a prescription for ella, an emergency contraception (morning-after pill) treatment that may prevent pregnancy when taken within 5 days of having unprotected sex. If you’re prescribed medication, fill your prescription at a preferred pharmacy.
This is right for you if:
You've had unprotected sex within the past 5 days
You're not experiencing signs or symptoms of pregnancy.
What's the difference between ella and Plan B?
Ulipristal acetate (ella) and levonorgestrel (Plan B, My Way, and others) are both emergency birth control methods (morning-after pills) that may prevent pregnancy when taken as soon as possible after having unprotected sex.
To be effective, ella must be taken within 5 days and levonorgestrel must be taken within 3 days after having unprotected sex.
Studies show that ella is more effective than levonorgestrel at preventing ovulation. Neither medication is 100% effective.
ella is available only by prescription and it's covered by most health insurance plans. Its out-of-pocket cost is about $40 to $50. Levonorgestrel is available over the counter at many pharmacies and online for $50 or less.
What's included
Personalized treatment plans may include a prescription for ella. You can message your online doctor or nurse practitioner with follow-up questions for 14 days after you get your treatment plan.
