How Long Does Unwanted 72 Protect Against Pregnancy?

24 days back I took unwanted-72 right after we had unprotected sex with my bf. Again we had sex 24 days after the pill. Do I need to take again another pill or the previous pill being taken 24 days back will be enough for our safety. Please give us yo suggestions Doctor.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I-pill usually is only effective for 1 or 2 intercourses that also must be within 72 hours.

In your case, the pill that you took 24 days ago is not effective anymore so you must consider a form of contraception.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
