Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
You can take the morning after pill or the method called emergency contraception.
You should take the Norgestrel containing tablets course.
Take one 750micrograms tab stat and take one more at 12 hours later.
It provides full protection if taken within 72 hours.
PILL72 or ECEE72 are two good preparation in India.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
