Question: is the morning after pill effective after 72 hours?
Answer: Plan B, My Way, Take Action, and other levonorgestrel morning-after pills work best when you take them quickly after unprotected sex. They'll work best up to 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex. You can take these up to 5 days (120 hours) after sex, but they don't work nearly as well by day 5.
