Brief Answer:
Can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Yes, it is safe to take morning-after-pill (map) while on warfarin.

Let me assure you that unless you have unprotected sex within your fertile period, you would not get pregnant.

Let me further state that the fertile period is between 10th and 18th day of your cycle. In other words, unprotected sex in this period can give you pregnancy. However, in case of the rest of the cycle, even unprotected sex with release of semen will not give you pregnancy (unprotected sex can still transmit venereal diseases, especially in case of multiple partners being involved).

Let me know if I could help further.
