Emerging Egg

Emergency contraceptives that work

The risk of unintended pregnancies remains when you are into frequent sex. You never know when the condom might break, or worse, you may forget to take your regular birth control pills for 2-3 days at a stretch. But the good news is that you can avoid an unintended pregnancy with emergency contraceptive pills. Meant to be used only in emergency, these pills can be taken after unprotected sexual intercourse or failure of contraception to prevent pregnancy. ellaOne is the only morning after pill which you can take within 5 days from unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. Levonelle is another popular emergency contraception choice for women in the UK. You can take this pill within 3 days from sexual intercourse and be confident about its ability to prevent fertilisation of eggs.

Which pill to take?

With ellaOne, Levonelle 1500 and so many other pills available, it can be a bit tricky to decide which pill you can take just in case something didn’t go as planned. The best option, as always, is to go to a doctor and discuss everything ranging from safety of emergency contraceptive methods to their possible impact on your health. Progestin-only pills such as ellaOne and Levonelle are generally safe and effective.

How does ellaOne work?

ellaOne contains ulipristal acetate as its active ingredient. It is a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone and can stop or delay ovulation. The drug was approved by an FDA Advisory Committee in June, 2010. Ulipristal acetate offers a twofold protection against pregnancy. First, it stops any egg from being fertilised by sperms. Second, if fertilisation occurs by accident, it stops the fertilised egg from getting attached to the womb.

What about ellaOne’s safety and effectiveness?

Clinical trials have shown that 98 out of 100 women taking ellaOne immediately after sex can prevent pregnancy. The average rate of success for ellaOne is 60%, which is quite impressive considering you have 5 days to take the pill.

As far as side effects are concerned, ulipristal acetate may cause mild nausea, headache, abdominal pain and period pain.

How does Levonelle work?

Levonorgestrel, the active ingredient of Levonelle, is also a synthetic sex hormone that can prevent pregnancy if taken immediately after sex. Unlike ellaOne, Levonelle should be taken within 3 days from unprotected sexual intercourse. It works the same way as ellaOne does.

Is Levonelle helpful?

The success rate of Levonelle 1500 is 95% when taken within 24 hours from sex. Studies show that the effectiveness of this pill decreases when it’s taken on the 2nd and 3rd day. It is among the few emergency contraceptive methods that underage women (16 years or above) can use, but only under medical supervision.

As both pills are hormonal contraceptives, there is hardly anything to choose from between them. The only noticeable difference is in the amount of time you have to take the pills. The plus factor of both pills is that they are available only on prescription. So the risk of being fooled into buying an unreliable contraceptive is minimum. But don’t consider either of them as a substitute to your regular contraceptive pill.
