With the least side effects as i also have pcod. Please suggest what should i do??

Also are these pills taken only once or does the dosage need to be more than 1 pill??

Brief Answer:
Any one of these will be sufficient.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Unwanted 72 or I pill are safe tablets to be taken once. These do have minor well tolerated side effects like headache, nausea, mild irregular bleeding, etc. These can effectively prevent the pregnancy if taken within 24 hours of unsafe sex.
It will not cause a long term effect on the fertility. You can take any one of these as a single dose.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If you take the pill within 48 hours, it provides a 90% protection against pregnancy. Both I-pill and Unwanted 72 are equally effective.
These will not have any long term effect on PCOD.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
