Brief Answer:
Around 90 to 95% effectiveness

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your query, ideally, no emergency contraception gives 100% protection, still going by most of the clinical studies, I pill shows around 90 to 95% effectiveness.

A single dose of I pill is sufficient and it should be taken as early as possible within 12 to 72 hrs. As you have taken immediately, it may be more effective in preventing pregnancy.

Still, in case of delayed periods, it would be better to do a urine pregnancy test and ultrasound obstetrics after detailed medical examination and gynecologist opinion.

I pill may have some side effects like nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue. In that case, you can take a tablet Ondansetron 4mg. Keep your self hydrated. Take proper rest.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further...

Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale
