Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Althea is not an effective emergency contraceptive pill. You can take planB or Ipill which is considered as good effective emergency pill. If others are no available you can take althea as an emergency pill. You can take one tablet with in 48 hours of the intercourse and repeat the same after twelve hour.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
