Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is very rare for this type of contraception to fail. You need to take this drug within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It will prevent pregnancy in more than 90% of the cases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
