Percentage protection from unwanted pregnancy after taking one pill of T-PILL 72

• 98 % if taken with in 12 hours
• 95% if taken within 24 hours, 85% if taken 24-48 hours and 58% if taken after 48 up to 72 hours.
• 1500 microgram single dose of T-PILL 72, when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, prevented 84% of expected pregnancies. (Lancet 2002; 360: 1803-1810) This was in comparison with 79% of expected pregnancies when two 750 microgram tablets were taken 12 hours apart).
• It is therefore, recommended that one tablet of T-PILL 72  is taken as soon as possible (and no later than 72 hours) after unprotected intercourse.
  NOTE: This method can prevent an undesired pregnancy but it does not protect against STDs and AIDS
