No, it is not necessary to take the emergency contraceptive pill (ecp) again within such a short timeframe. Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive pill that contains levonorgestrel, which is a hormone that can prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, fertilization, or implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. Taking the pill twice within such a short period is not recommended and can lead to hormonal imbalances and other potential side effects.
