Hi!!
A contracpetive used after unprotected intercourse is called emergency contracpetive which is also comes by the name of ipill.This should be used within 24 hours of intercourse.
It used to prevent pregnancy.
MIFEPRIN( mifepristone) is used to induce abortion once pregnancy has occured,thus if you want to prevent pregnancy you should take ipill

Sorry i thought it will take 24 hrs to answer so I have already had this MIFEPRIN now. Will this prevent my pregnancy now or should i also have Ipill? WHat will be the Mifeprin effects on me? i am on my 13th day of my period which might be my ovulation date.

You can take ipill ,but the effectiveness will be lower(after 24 hrs).Also,mifeprin will not have any effects on preventing pregnancy or any effects on you.
