A member asked:
How effective is postinor 1 when taken like 5 hours after the unprotected intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite effective: Emergency contraception (ec) is used after sex, to lower the chance of pregnancy by about 70-80%. Ec is a high dose of birth control. Abnormal bleeding or spotting is a common side effect. Nausea, abdominal pain or cramping, and fatigue may occur, but symptoms resolve in a day or two as the drug leaves the body soon. Women may also have some breast tenderness, headache, dizziness, or vomiting.
