Latter after taking I-pill I again had unprotected sex after 4 hour(around 6 pm,this evening). Am I safe now or do I need to again take another I-pill? Would appreciate your expertise..

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In case of an unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy emergency contraceptive pill has to be taken within 72 hour of exposure. As per the mentioned event no need to take further I pill as 72 hour has not been passed. But You have to be careful and if needed condom like barrier method can be used to prevent pregnancy. I pill is very effective in preventing pregnancy but still if your next period is delayed than rule out pregnancy by urine HCG card test. Hope this provided information will be beneficial to you and let me know if I can assist you further.
