This is a question you should ask your pharmacist or whoever provided you with the Ella one. ( ullipristal )
Potential for ulipristal acetate to affect other medicinal products
Hormonal contraceptives
Because ulipristal acetate binds to the progesterone receptor with high affinity, it may interfere with the action of progestogen-containing medicinal products:
- Contraceptive action of combined hormonal contraceptives and progestogen-only contraception may be reduced
- Concomitant use of ulipristal acetate and emergency contraception containing levonorgestrel is not recommended
So basically taking levonogestrel may not work.
It is recommended that if a woman requests EC for further UPSI within 5 days of taking UPA-EC, a Cu-IUD is offered if appropriate. Alternatively, UPA-EC can be given again.
So the recommendation is either another ullipristal ( Ella one ) or a copper coil. You need to discuss with your local sexual or reproductive health clinic as a pharmacist will not be able to provide this.
