Previously took emergency contraception, then missed another dose. Is it still effective?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, emergency contraception pills are usually taken within 72 hours after the event. About two hours of fasting is required before and after taking the medication. If you did not take any contraceptive measures during sexual activity, you can take the pill. However, if you have sexual activity after taking the pill, it will not provide contraception for that sexual activity.
