Hi & Welcome.
Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill used for the prevention of an unwanted pregnancy as a result of unprotected sex.
If taken within 24 hours of having an unprotected sex, it has 95% chances to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
It is generally a safe medication, however it may cause headache, fatigue, breast tenderness (soreness), the next period may get delayed or occur early or it may be associated with spotting or vaginal bleeding before the date of menses.
There is no specific time to this pill, it should be taken as early as possible following an unprotected sex.
Hope this answers your query.
