The most important point is to know the exact number of hours you had
unprotected sexual intercourse as it will determine whether the EC will work
for you, and which brand to take.
Despite being known as the ‘morning-after’ pill, the best time to take it is
as soon as possible after unprotected sexual intercourse to improve its
effectiveness. With Ella, you can take the pill up to 5 days after.
The pill is generally well tolerated, and is best taken after food. Sometimes,
slight nausea may occur, and if you vomit within 3 hours, another tablet
should be taken.
