Is A Second Dosage Of Unwanted 72 Necessary To Avoid Pregnancy?
Hello doctor, I hv unprotected sex with my gf & she hv taken unwanted72 pill within half an hour of sex. But still she is worried about the whole thing & she is insisiting to take 1 more unwanted72 pill within 72 hours of sex just in case. So can she take 2 pills within 72 hrs to avoid any pregnancy???

Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.
Unwanted 72 if taken within 72hrs it is 80 to 90% protective. How over its not 100% effective & in your case if your girlfriend want to take additional dosage (which is not needed actually), do consult your doctor for further assistance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
