Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill that is used to prevent an unplanned pregnancy after having unprotected sex. It is also known as "the morning-after" pill and contains a hormone called Levonorgestrel. The pill has to be taken orally and within 24 to 72 hours of having unprotected sex. The sooner you take the pill, the better the effect will be. Unwanted 72 contains a hormone in high dose, inactivating LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicular stimulating hormone), and it ultimately makes the lining of the uterus unfavorable for implantation of fertilized egg and ovulation too. It thus works by stopping pregnancy after sex. It takes three days (72 hours) for pregnancy to occur after fertilization, which is what this pill stops from occurring. It does not terminate a pregnancy that has already occurred. The effects of the medicine Unwanted 72 last up to three days. It is important to note that Unwanted 72 is not indicated for regular birth control and does not offer any protection from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or HIV/AIDS.
