Hello,

YES, she must take Unwanted 72 pill as soon as possible to avoid unwanted pregnancy. It gives more than 95% protection within first 24hrs and around 85% within 24 to 48 hrs.

Emergency pill may cause withdrawal bleeding and late period. However, it is the BEST choice to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Good luck.
