Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Ulipristal is a medicine in the “hormone (menopause / progestogen)” category. This hormone is part of hormonal contraception: taken every day, it prevents ovulation and makes the body unfavourable to pregnancy, reversibly.
In the case of Ulipristal, this means: Progesterone modulator (emergency contraception, fibroids). It is most often a maintenance treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on the day.
Under which brands it is found
Ulipristal is found in around 4 presentations listed in France. It can be found under several brand names and as generics.
- Ellaone
- Ulipristal Acetate Biogaran
- Ulipristal Acetate Exeltis
- Ulipristal Acetate Viatris
Original brand-name products and generics deliver the same active substance; the choice between them is made with your doctor or pharmacist.
Do you need a supplement? No.
For Ulipristal, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation is seriously justified as an addition to this treatment, and we would rather write that than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; outside of those, we do not sell for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five products.
