Hi, my partner and i talked and decided to take plan b 2 days later after the intercourse. how really effective is plan b between 48-72 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plan B: is most effective when taken within the first 24 hours of intercourse and loses some effectiveness the further out it is taken. It is still effective 72 hours from intercourse. 89% effective at 72 hours
