Emergency contraceptive pill has to be taken within 72 hrs of unprotected intercourse ,the earlier you take the better, it can be taken upto 5 days of unprotected intercourse but taken after 72 hrs failure rates are higher. If you miss your periods then do a urine pregnancy test.

If sex was within last 72 hours you can take ipill but that doesn't guarantee that you won't get pregnant but will decrease the chances of pregnancy. Also use proper contraception future as ipill is not foolproof and comes with side effects.
