HI AND THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.

You should take four pills as the first dose stat(within 120 hours of intercourse) than four other pills as second dose,after 12 hours .

You have and other options like I-pill ,that are more effective than emergency dose ,and the best of them is XXXXXXX - is an emergency contraceptive pill containing 30 mg of ulipristal acetate, a progesterone receptor modulator,and haven't side effects .This type of emergency contraceptive pill requires a prescription from your doctor.

Or/The copper-containing IUD (brand name: Paragard) is a small, T-shaped device that is placed inside the uterus by your doctor. To be used for emergency contraception, the IUD should be placed within 5 days after unprotected sex. The IUD can be left in your body for up to 10 years to prevent pregnancy. Some women use IUDs as their regular form of birth control.

After you take emergency contraceptive pills, your period may come earlier or later than usual. Talk to your doctor if you do not get your period within 1 month after taking the pills.

All the best
