Answer 1

I think its 72hours

Answer 2

Up to 72 Hours
It's effective 95% within 24 hours, 85% between 24-48 hours

Answer 3

Up to 72 hours after sex (3 days)

Answer 4

Plan B can be started within 120 hours (5 days) of unprotected sex, is most effective when the first dose is taken within 72 hours (75-89%). The sooner you can take it, the better!

You can also get an IUD inserted, which is 99.9% effective when inserted within 5 days but costs several hundred dollars and stays in play for several years.

Answer 5

72

Answer 6

I always thought it was 72, because i did have to take it once (about 4 years ago), but maybe I just don't remember, because a friend of mine just had a scare and called the doctor's office to ask them and they said 48. Call a doctor, or a pharmacist if you can't get ahold of anyone at a clinic. They'll give you the right information.

Answer 7

Up to 72 hours later, but the faster you take it the more effective it is. It basically stops the sperm from implanting the egg, and if it hasn't already implanted by day 3 the sperm dies anyways.

Answer 8

up to 72 hours (3 days), but it has worked for people as much as 5 days later. however the longer you wait the less it will lower your chance of getting pregnant, so get it IMMEDIATELY.

Answer 9

Has anyone heard of protected sex. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Answer 10

72 hours and the clock is ticking

Answer 11

i think 48 to 72 hours, but it doesn't abort the baby, it only kills the sperm so you can't get pregnant.
