Hi,
Unwanted 72 tablet is effective against pregnancy approximately 90-95%, if taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex, as is in your case. Still, as it is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Therefore, it is always advised to have a home pregnancy test done, if your menses are delayed by one week to confirm / rule out of pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
