Will Ellaone work properly if I am taking sorbifer durules? Today I took Ellaone (intercourse occurred about 15 hours earlier). After some time, I felt lower abdominal pain as before menstruation. Is the drug working properly? Or is it through sorbifer durules?

Sorbifer Durules does not affect the effectiveness of the EllOne tablet. The effectiveness of the drug depends on whether it was taken before or after ovulation. The tablet taken before ovulation works in virtually all women, this substance taken even immediately before the expected ovulation is able to delay the release of the egg for at least 5 days in 78.6% of cases. However, in a situation where ovulation has already occurred, ulipristal acetate is not effective. Therefore, in the case of EllaOne, not only the time that has passed between intercourse and taking the tablet is important - the day of the cycle is also important.
