Does the morning after pill work 3 days after?

The morning-after pill is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. Depending on the type, some emergency contraceptive pills can be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after intercourse, while others can be effective up to 5 days. However, the efficacy decreases the longer you wait, so it's best to take it as soon as possible for optimal results. If you are beyond that time frame, consult a healthcare provider for other options.
