Patient's Query

Hi Doctor,

I took i-pill yesterday night and then accidentally had an unprotected sex today evening at 5 PM.

Should I take another i-pill? If yes, when and any side effects?

Answered by Dr. Sini. P

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you took an i-Pill one day before having sex, no need to take it again.

i-Pill has something around 72 hours of action.

No major side effects. Your periods may get delayed for a week.

Hope it helps.
