A member asked:
How long does the emergency contaceptive pill protect you for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not how it works: Emergency contraception should be taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex. Most types are single or two dose regimens and don't provide future birth control. You need to see a provider to get on dependable birth control.
