You may still get pregnant if there is sexual intercourse after taking the pill. Use a condom or any other type of birth control method if you have sexual intercourse after taking the emergency contraceptive pill.
The tablet works best the sooner you take it after having unprotected sex. It can only reduce the likelihood of becoming pregnant, if you take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Please contact your healthcare professional if it is more than 72 hours since unprotected sex.
When can I start my regular hormonal contraception after taking this medication?
You can continue or start any birth control method right away. For the next 7 days, you must also use a barrier method (e.g. condoms, diaphragms and spermicides) along with your regular brith control methods, or not have sexual intercourse.
