Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
At the most, Unwanted 72 can be taken upto 72 hours after intercourse.
There is no point in taking it once you are pregnant.
There will be no effect of the drugs.
If you do not wish to continue your pregnancy, you should consult a gynecologist.
Have the pregnancy confirmed and dated.
ALso, take the medical abortion pills as prescribed .
Then have a follow up visit to confirm completion of abortion.
All the best.
Take care.
