Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
If an ipill is taken within 24 hours of sex, then it is very effective in preventing pregnancy. Protection against pregnancy is more than 95%. But it does have sife effects as the pill contains hormones and her menstrual cycle will get altered for a couple of months. So it has to be used only as emergency contraception and not as regular contraception method.
My advice to you is to use a condom as it is very effective in preventing pregnancy and will also protect you from sexually transmitted diseases.
Hope that answers your question,
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
