I took emerg contraceptive on sat afternoon at 3 pm and about 36 hours after taking pill,i had one loose stool. will the pill still be effective?

Should be!: The loose stool should have no effect. Emergency contraception is not 100% successful, so continue using protection and check a pregnancy test if your period is late.
