Hallow Dear,

If she has taken unwanted 72 within 72 hours of the unprotected sex, she should not worry about pregnancy. It has got a very good (>90%) success rate.

Unwanted 72 being a hormonal preparation, has got two effects which you may not be aware of :

1. Few days after taking the pills, there might be some amount of bleeding.

2. Due to raised hormonal levels, the period may get delayed by few days to a week.

If her periods are delayed for more than a week, she may perform pregnancy test on urine to confirm the pregnancy status. If she is not pregnant, she may take Tab. Deviry for 5 days; within 4-7 days she will get withdrawal bleeding.

If she is pregnant, she may opt for medical termination of pregnancy.

I hope this helps you.
