What is the Morning After Pill?

When unplanned moments happen, the morning after pill is your ally in preventing unwanted pregnancy. It's a type of emergency contraception designed to be used after unprotected sex or if your regular method of contraception fails. 

Please note, the morning after pill is not the same as an abortion pill; the morning after pill works by preventing or delaying ovulation to avoid pregnancy. It's important to act quickly for effective prevention. It also isn’t intended for regular use, only as a responsible solution for those unexpected moments. 

At Pharmacy Online, we offer two primary types of morning after pills, Levonorgestrel (known as Levonelle) and EllaOne, with prices starting from just £9.99.

Levonorgestrel and Levonelle can be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

EllaOne offers a wider window, effective up to 120 hours after unprotected sex.

How effective is the morning after pill?

Each type of emergency contraception has specific time frames for effectiveness:

Levonorgestrel is 97.4-99.4% effective when taken within 12 hours of unprotected sex, and can be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex, although the effectiveness decreases over time. According to an NHS 2017 review, approximately 0.6 to 2.6% of women who take Levonorgestrel after unprotected sex will become pregnant. This means, Levonelle is thought to prevent:

1. up to 95% of pregnancies if taken within 24 hours

2. up to 85% if taken within 48 hours

3. up to 58% if taken within 72 hours

EllaOne is 98-99% effective and can be effective for up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex. The same review found that approximately 1 to 2 out of 100 women who take ellaOne after unprotected sex will become pregnant.

Choosing the right pill depends on your particular circumstances and how much time has passed. Speak to our pharmacists at our online pharmacy for more information.

Who can use the Morning After Pill?

The morning after pill is suitable for most women who need to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It's designed as an emergency measure and can be used by women of reproductive age.

While the morning after pill is safe for many, there are certain conditions where its use may need extra consideration. For example, if you have certain medical conditions or are taking medications that could interact with the morning after pill, it's crucial to seek advice. Similarly, if you have a history of ectopic pregnancy or issues with your liver, consult a healthcare professional before use.

If you're unsure whether the morning after pill is suitable for you, or if you have any concerns about your health history, our team is here to offer confidential advice and support. 

How does the Morning After Pill work?

If you’ve had unprotected sex, it’s understandable to be anxious, so understanding how the morning after pill works can help ease some of that anxiety.

The morning after pill works by delaying ovulation, the process where an egg is released from the ovary. By postponing ovulation, it reduces the likelihood of sperm fertilising an egg.

If ovulation has already occurred, the pill may also prevent a fertilised egg from successfully implanting in the uterus. As mentioned above, the morning after pill isn’t an abortion pill; if a pregnancy is already established, the morning after pill will not be effective. The earlier the pill is taken, the more effective it is in preventing pregnancy.

1. Timeliness is key to the maximise effectiveness of the morning after pill. Levonorgestrel (Levonelle) is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, but its efficacy decreases over time. Also, if you weigh over 70kg, or are taking certain medications, or have a BMI over 26, you’ll need to take two tablets.

2. EllaOne maintains effectiveness up to 120 hours (5 days) post-intercourse. 

Differences between different types of morning after pills

While Levonorgestrel (Levonelle) and EllaOne both serve the same purpose of preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex, they do so through slightly different mechanisms.

Levonorgestrel (Levonelle) works by mimicking the natural hormone progesterone. It prevents or delays ovulation – the release of an egg from your ovaries. This timing is crucial because if ovulation has already occurred, the effectiveness of Levonorgestrel in preventing pregnancy diminishes.

EllaOne, on the other hand, has a different active ingredient, ulipristal acetate, which provides a broader window of effectiveness. It not only delays ovulation but also has the potential to prevent the fertilised egg from implanting in the womb if ovulation has already occurred. This dual action is what gives EllaOne its effectiveness up to 120 hours after unprotected sex.

Understanding these differences is key to choosing the right pill for your situation. At Pharmacy Online, we offer both options, with prices starting from just £9.99, to ensure that you have the most suitable and effective form of emergency contraception when you need it.

Side effects of the morning after pill

There are misconceptions surrounding the morning after pill – some think it's harmful or ineffective, or may affect future fertility — these concerns are unfounded. We want to reassure you: that these pills are safe and have been rigorously tested for efficacy.

While the morning after pill is safe, like any medication, it can have side effects. These may include nausea, tiredness, headache, abdominal pain, or changes in your next menstrual cycle. Most side effects are mild and temporary. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional.

Always read the instructions carefully and understand how the morning after pill works. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications, it's important to check if the morning after pill is suitable for you. Our team is here to provide guidance and answer any questions you might have.
