What is the post day pill for?

The post-day pill, commonly known as emergency contraception or the morning-after pill, is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure, such as a broken condom. It contains hormones that can inhibit or delay ovulation, preventing fertilization. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after the incident, ideally within 72 to 120 hours, depending on the specific medication. However, it is not intended for regular contraceptive use.
