Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
No unwanted 72 is not the right medicine to avoid pregnancy. It is intended to use in emergency situations only such as condom break, unplanned sex, etc. All other contraceptive methods should be employed before having sex. Unwanted 72 can be used to prevent pregnancy upto 72 hours of having sex. After 72 hours this pill will not be effective to prevent unwanted pregnancy therefore is not indicated.
It is always better to prevent unwanted pregnancy than going for an abortion in future. Therefore you could take this pill if time passed since intercourse is less than 72 hours.
These pills can cause irregular periods & other harmful effects. Use condom or regular contraceptive pill in future as method of preventing unwanted pregnancy in future.

Hope this information helps
