You cannot take unwanted -72 with every act of unprotected intercourse. this will just lead to hormonal imbalance in your body and yes, it is not 100%effective also . You take this pill now but better resort to some other reliable method of contraception if you don't want to be pregnant.

If its unprotected sex then you can take I pill or unwanted 72. But these pills are not to be taken frequently and if possible use other contraceptive measures like copper T or contraceptive pills so as to avoid taking pills in future.

Theoretically after bleeding stops, 3-7 days are safe. Will take the lowest value, that's for at least first 3 days, it's very safe. Natural contraception will work. No need to use any contraceptive measures. It's always good to use condoms rather pills. In the above mentioned case, no contraceptive measures needed.

both are sisters and meant for emergency only
can't be taken as a routine contraceptive
these medicines are loaded with hormones which can lead to abnormal hormonal imbalances and irregular periods. to get a healthy pregnancy, periods have to be regular and this regular cycle indicate ovulation, means that eggs are generated
incase of abnormal periods, there's no ovulation.

If her period cycle is in fertile (unsafe) period she may have to take the tablet. It depends on which day of her period was the sex done.
