I-pill is an emergency pill. An emergency occurs after an incident of having unprotected sex. It should ideally be taken within 24 hours for maximum effectiveness while within 72 hours makes it less effective. It is taken to prevent pregnancy.

If you have missed taking the pill within 72 hours, it’s better to visit your doctor.

Remember, I-pill is an emergency pill and hence, should be taken once after the emergency situation. Pills with regular dosage are known as birth control pills which are different from emergency pills. Also, remember that these pills prevent pregnancy and don’t end it.
