ella Medical Information

What is ella?

ella is an emergency contraceptive. It is used to stop pregnancy after unprotected sex or birth control failure (such as when a condom breaks). ella is solely used an emergency contraceptive and not as a regular form of birth control.

ella is formulated using an ingredient known as ulipristal acetate, which works by stopping ovulation for up to five days from the day of unprotected sex or birth control failure. As such, it offers extra pregnancy prevention, especially because sperm cells can survive for up to five days inside the uterus.  It is important to note that other emergency contraceptives approved by the Food and Administration Agency (FDA) only prevent pregnancy for up to 72 hours (three days) after unprotected sex.

Additionally, ella’s ability to stop or delay ovulation remains constant for the five days after you take it. Other FDA-approved emergency contraceptives start to lose efficacy 12 hours after taking them.

ella Medical Uses

Pregnancy cannot occur unless an egg leaves the ovaries and into the fallopian tube where fertilization takes place. ella works by suppressing the activities of a hormone known as progesterone. Progesterone plays a significant role in maintaining pregnancy. It is produced in the ovaries and helps the body prepare they body for contraception.

Thus, by interfering with the activities of progesterone, ella disrupts the body’s ability maintain pregnancy. In essence, ella delays ovulation for up to five days, thereby allowing sperm cells time to die before the egg is released. (Note that the sperm cells can only survive in the uterus between five and seven days after having sex).

In the unlikely event that fertilization occurs, ella will thin the lining of the uterus, making it harder for the fertilized egg to get implanted. When this happens, the egg passes out of the body through the periods.

Even though ella is a prescription emergency contraceptive, you can get it without a doctor’s appointment. It is available at urgent care centers, campus health clinics, and emergency rooms. Under the Affordable Care Act, women can get ella at discounted prices. Your insurance plan may also determine the amount you pay for ella.

Despites its ability to prevent pregnancy, it is important to note that ella is not an abortion pill and as such it will not terminate an existing pregnancy. Also, it will not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia or HIV.
