Hi Shalini, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Unwanted72. Should be taken within72 hours of unprotected intercourse. It's contraceptive efficacy is maintained only in that case.
Unwanted 72 has the side effect of delaying next expected periods by 7-10 days.
If your periods are delayed, then do get a urine pregnancy test done and if positive then further management should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
