Does emergency contraception, such as the i-pill, protect against pregnancy during subsequent acts of unprotected sex within 48 hours, and is a repeat dose recommended in this scenario?

Asked by Female, 25 · 13 days ago

The i-pill (which contains levonorgestrel) is designed to prevent pregnancy only from the intercourse that occurred before you took it. It does not provide ongoing protection for subsequent acts of unprotected sex, even within 48 hours. If you have had another unprotected encounter, a repeat dose might be necessary, but please consult a healthcare professional first, as frequent use can disrupt your cycle. I highly recommend discussing reliable, regular contraception options with your doctor to keep you safe and give you peace of mind.
