What makes ella® different?

Just as the decision to have a child should be on your terms and timeline, choosing the best emergency contraceptive for you starts with understanding their differences.

ella® is the only emergency contraceptive pill that:

Is effective when the risk of pregnancy is at its highest—right before an egg is about to be released.
Is effective for up to 5 days after having unprotected sex.
Delays ovulation using the active ingredient ulipristal acetate.
Demonstrated a pregnancy rate of less than 1% in scientific studies when taken within 24 hours after having unprotected sex. In those same studies, there was a pregnancy rate of 1.3% when ella® was taken within 5 days after unprotected sex.

ella® can be your partner

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends keeping emergency contraception on hand, particularly one containing ulipristal acetate, the active ingredient in ella®.
Best of all, ella® may cost you $0 out of pocket with most insurance plans.

Keep ella® on hand for backup on demand

Getting and filling an advanced prescription for ella® can help you avoid unnecessary delays that might happen while reaching out to a healthcare provider for a prescription. Having a pregnancy scare is stressful enough. Having ella® on hand means there’s no need for panic or stress when you need emergency contraception.

Emergency contraception is an essential part of birth control and nothing to be ashamed of. If you’re experiencing an emergency or just want to have it on hand, ella® can provide reassurance and protection without judgement.
