Brief Answer:
Nothing active needs to be done
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue but there is nothing to worry as pill gets absorbed in half an hour and starts working in an hour or so.
Also 4 days after periods in general there is minimal risk of pregnancy as there is no egg in female body to form a baby.
So nothing to worry.
But this is an emergency contraceptive and thus don't make it a routine practice to take this everytime you indulge in sexual activity and rather opt for condoms or oral contraceptive pills.

Thank u doc... Wen will she get her periods??? After taking postpone 72
Brief Answer:
Periods will come as scheduled
Detailed Answer:
Most likely she will get her periods on expected time only so just wait for her periods and avoid taking the tablet now or it will derange the period pattern a lit because of the high dose of progesterone in all emergency pills.

after the periods how many days can have a safe intercourse???? If the periods cycle is normal??
Brief Answer:
Day 10-18.
Detailed Answer:
Safe days in regular menstrual cycle are from day 1 of periods to day 10 and then from day 19 of periods till periods commence.
These are most probable safe days and in some patients in some cycles there can be erratic ovulation and thus pregnancy can still occur even if intercourse was done only in safe periods.
So calendar method has a high failure rate and thus should be supplemented with condom use.
And this safe period method also fails if there occurs repeated emergency pill intake because of the resultant deranged pattern of ovulation.
