Feanolla contains one active ingredient, which is called desogestrel, whereas ellaOne contains ulipristal as its active ingredient.  

ellaOne stops progesterone from working normally, which then causes the delayed release of an egg. ellaOne is also referred to as the morning-after pill but is not effective if you have ovulated. 

We recommend that all of our patients consult either their doctor or prescriber they buy and take Feanolla or any form of contraceptive. This is to ensure that they receive the correct treatment for them.

Feanolla can prevent unwanted pregnancy. It is a progesterone-only pill that some patients may prefer over combined pills.
