Hello

Thanks for writing to us.

Yes, once you are off contraceptives you are no more protected against pregnancy. So you need to take emergency pill to avoid pregnancy. It is effective within 72 hrs of an unprotected intercourse.

Hope this is clear. Let me know if you have any follow up queries.
Please close this discussion if you do not have any further queries.

Wish you good health.

Best wishes
