Is Unwanted 72 Effective In Preventing Pregnancy?
Question: is unwanted 72 will be able to stop pregnancy
Brief Answer:
unwanted 72 is 86% effective
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand your concern.
In my opinion unwanted 72 is 86% effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Please note that it can not give any protection from STD.
It acts at different stages:-
1)It inhibits the ovulation.
2)It makes cervical mucus thick due to which penetration of sperm is prevented and there by fertilisation is interfered.
3)Implantation is also prevented.
Unprotected intercourse either during safe or unsafe period also determines the chances of pregnancy.
So relax.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to ask any more queries.
Best regards...Dr.srilatha
