Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Unwanted-72 is a recognized method of morning after contraception. It has to be used within 72 hours of sex in order to be effective.
It contain hormones, so, have many side effects ranging from nausea, vomiting, stomach upset to heavy bleeding & cycle upset.
If you need it, you take it.
If you are not ready for a pregnancy use a regular birth control method.
Take care.
