Brief Answer:
There is almost total protection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

The protection offered when the emergency pill is taken within 6 hours of an unprotected intercourse is 96-98 percent. Thus you have almost total protection.

In addition, the phase of the menstrual cycle when the intercourse took place is very important. If you happen to be in the safe period, again, you are naturally protected because you are in the non-ovulatory state.

Hope your query has been answered. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
