Does iPill or any other emergency contraception pill have a weight requirement to work? Does it not work for women beyond a certain weight range? For eg i have heard that certain pills do not work for women weighing more than 155 lbs.

Ipills are not very effective contraceptives. The efficacy of any drug depends on the appropriate dosage that shows its action in the body. And obesity will definitely have its implications on the efficacy of the drug. And hence, ipill may have slightly higher chances of failure in case of heavy women. Do practice other safe and efficacious methods of contraception.
