This must be taken within 120 hours after being involved in an unprotected sex or else it won't take effect. This is a prescription drug. So it is better to have a stock of it to be taken whenever needed.

This can really prevent pregnancy. But it causes a woman to feel dizzy and fatigued. It also causes abdominal pains as well as tenderness of breasts.
