A member asked:
What if i used ecp after 72 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less effective: The best protection for this type of med is achieved if taken within the 1st 48-72 hrs. The effectiveness (preventing pregnancy) begins to decline for some of these products if taken later. There are some that are effective longer, but you did not specify the product used.
