Brief Answer: No. Take OTC Emergency contraceptive pills . Detailed Answer: Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. No. It will not be helpful in Emergency contraception. It is better to Over the counter Emergency contraception pills like ipill, unwanted 69, Preventol. This should be taken as soon as possible. At least within 72 hours of intercourse to avoid pregnancy. Better use barrier contraceptive methods like condoms. Because repeated use of hormonal emergency contraceptives may harm her hormone profile and her menstrual cycle. It also helps in protection from sexually transmitted diseases. Her next period may come sooner or later than expected, however most women get their period within 7 days of expected date. Her period may also be heavier or lighter than normal.
