Hello,
Thank You fo the query at HealthcareMagic

Ipill is 95% effective, ie the chances of getting pregnant if Ipill is taken within 24 hours of intercourse is less than 5%.
It is safe to take Ipill repeatedly in the same cycle. Taking Ipill more than once do not reduce its effectiveness. However, if you need long-term contraception, Combined hormonal birth control pills will be a better choice.

Hope I was able to help you
