Your doctor may suggest an alternative emergency contraceptive if needed.

If you have taken this medicine and plan to have sex without using the contraceptive pill, ensure protection with condoms or a cap plus spermicide until your next menstrual period. These tablets won’t be effective if you have unprotected sex again before your upcoming period.
