Esmya and Contraceptives

4th December 2012 by Louise Hudman

This guideline lays out advice concerning contraception and Esmya. Esmya is 5mg of Ulipristal acetate. It is a new treatment for fibroids used for up to 3m pre-operatively. Ella-One is the other Ulipristal medication, which is used for emergency contraception and is 30mg.

The leaflet for Esmya advises that it should not be used with any hormonal contraception (including mirena, depot and nexplanon). This is far more restrictive than the guidance for Ella-One, so at some point it may change, but for now, FSRH advises following the leaflet advice.

"I rely on the NASGP for advice and support. Having been a locum in the past without LocumDeck, I realise how much easier LocumDeck makes my life, especially as I don't enjoy admin. I can see at a glance how many bookings I have and where the gaps are. I have some practices who instant book me - booking directly into free sessions I have added. I would highly recommend it to others."
