General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
i pill is an emergency contraceptive pill, which needs to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Earlier it is taken, it is known to protect better.
It will prevent pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of taking the pill.
In case it doesn't happen, you need to seek medical attention immediately and get her evaluated.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
