How do I take the Ella?

For maximum effectiveness, take Ella within 5 days (120 hours) after having unprotected sex. Ella is a single tablet that is swallowed just like any other medication. Make sure to read all manufacturer instructions that come with the medication.

If you need emergency contraception again within 5 days of taking Ella, make sure to take Ella and not Plan B or other types of morning-after pills.
