Is Cerazette Advisable As Contraceptive Pill?

I am taking cerazette ( the mini pill) but have missed one and had unprotected sex. I understand that it is progesterone only just like the morning after pill. I am in Malaysisa where emergency contraception is banned- is it possible for me to just take multiple cerazette? If so how many?

Cerazette should not be used as emergency contraceptive pill. It is not effective. instead you can use certain combined contraceptive pills as emergency contraception if emergency contraceptive pill is banned in your country.
eg, Lo/Ovral, Nordette or levora can be used as below
4 tablets now and 4 tablets after 12 hours.

Intrauterine contraceptive devise inerted within 5 days of unprotected intercourse is another choice. This has the advantage that it can be continued as a contraceptive method.
