Hi !
Thanks for your query.
Emergency pill is very effective if it is take within 72 hours after intercourse.
You can use it for one time but it is not the right choose as a contraception.
If you do not want to conceive ,please get information about another long-term method of contraception ,because often use of emergency pill can cause harm.

All the best
