Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you have taken an emergency pill within 72 hours of intercourse there is no chance of pregnancy. The pill will be effective for 72 hours of intercourse there is no need to repeat the same. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me. Take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The pill will be effective for 72 hours of intercourse. So if you have done sex within 72 hours of taking the pill, there is no need to repeat. Do not take emergency pills frequently, as it is a hormonal pill and can cause hormonal changes. The name itself says emergency, so use it only in case of other contraceptive failures occur.
