Where a listing is a referral partner we may earn a commission when you visit them — this never changes prices you pay, ratings, or the order providers appear. Affiliate links use rel="sponsored" and are labelled “Ad – Affiliate”. For Prescription Only Medicines we promote the pharmacy’s clinical service, not a specific medicine, in line with the MHRA Blue Guide. See our [affiliate compliance](/methodology/#affiliate-compliance). ### Do you run this service? These pharmacies appear because they offer a regulated treatment service. A blank price means we have not verified a published figure — we will not guess. Claim your listing and paste a URL plus the published monthly or pack price from your own site. Payment never fills a cell and never changes a score. [Claim your listing](/claim/#published-prices)[Partner pricing](/partners/) ## Private vs free NHS supply Many community pharmacies supply emergency contraception free under NHS arrangements. If that route is available near you, it is usually the best first option. Private online or walk-in purchase is useful when free supply is not available or you need discreet delivery — compare our Levonelle page for the alternative medicine. ## Timing ellaOne can be taken up to 120 hours after unprotected sex. Earlier is better. A copper IUD fitted by a clinic is the most effective emergency method — a pharmacist can advise when that is the better route. ## Safety A pharmacist or online clinical questionnaire checks suitability. This page compares prices only — it is not medical advice. For urgent help call NHS 111. ## Frequently Asked Questions Is ellaOne free on the NHS?▼ Often yes via participating pharmacies — ask your local pharmacy or NHS 111. Private purchase is the fallback when free supply is not available. ellaOne or Levonelle?▼ ellaOne works for longer after unprotected sex (up to 120 hours). Levonelle is typically cheaper privately but has a shorter window. A pharmacist can advise which is appropriate. Why does a pharmacy on this ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) table have no price?▼ We only publish a provider price when we have verified it against that pharmacy’s own published treatment-service page, with a checked date. A blank cell means the figure is not on file — not that the service is free, and not that we ranked the pharmacy last. Confirm the live price on the pharmacy’s site. Pharmacies can submit a published figure when they claim a listing; payment never fills a cell. Can a pharmacy pay to rank higher for ellaOne (ulipristal acetate)?▼ No. Payment buys labelled visibility and qualified enquiries, never a better score or a higher row on this table.
