Hello,
Unwanted 72 emergency pill gives protection up to next 72 hrs max. As you did sex on same day of taking the pill, theoretically you do not need extra pill.
However, you can take additional pill for safety and to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Side effects are mostly same as per single dose like irregular spotting, delayed period, abdominal cramp, vomiting etc.
Practice safe sex. Good luck.
