Hello,

Yes, it is advisable to take to IDOZ-72 to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. It should be used within 72 hours of unprotected sex like 'condom leakage' in your case.

Its first dose should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex and the second dose is taken 12 hours later. The sooner it is used, the more effective it is.

Generally it is well tolerated by most women, however it may cause nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, menstrual changes, breast tenderness, fluid retention, and dizziness. These symptoms may be less severe with IDOZ-72.

IDOZ-72 can prevent pregnancy by 89% however it may not prevent tubal pregnancy. Further, I advise you to consult a physician for your high blood pressure.

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

Take care

Regards,
