Welcome to Healthcare Magic
You have to take Emergency pill within 72 hours of unprotected sex. That means no sex till that 72 hours are over. There are lot of side effects like heavy and irregular cycles for 2-3 cycles duration, breast pain, nausea, abdominal pain, weight gain. Use condom to prevent pregnancy and STD. Avoid taking emergency pill so frequently, it is meant only for EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE FAILURE.
