Since Elata 5 mg contains ulipristal, the correct way to take it depends entirely on its intended use, and it should not be used casually or without clear guidance. If it is prescribed for emergency contraception, it is taken as a single dose only, as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, and not daily or during periods. If it is prescribed for uterine fibroids, it is usually taken once daily for a fixed duration (such as a few weeks to months) under strict doctor supervision, with monitoring for side effects, especially liver-related issues. It is not meant to be taken only during menstrual periods unless specifically advised. Therefore, you should follow the exact schedule given by your doctor and not self-adjust the dose or duration.
