Yes, prolonged brown spotting is a common side effect of the high hormone dose in emergency contraception (i-pill), but it should be closely monitored. Why it happens: The pill triggers hormonal withdrawal bleeding, which often starts about a week after taking it. Dark brown blood simply indicates older, slower-shedding uterine lining. When it stops: Spotting typically resolves on its own within several days to two weeks,

It is unpredictable when the bleeding will stop Emergency pills are known to cause a regular vaginal bleeding which is called withdrawal bleeding Keep it mind the fact that  side effects of emergency pills can last  upto a month

This is the side effects of pill called withdrawal bleeding. You can take medicine to stop the bleeding. Consult for prescription please.

Spotting like this after taking Ipill is common and usually just reflects the hormone shift, not a problem. It tends to settle on its own within a week or two.
Next Steps
If it turns into heavy bleeding, pain, or your next period doesn't come on time, please take a home pregnancy test and see a gynaecologist.
Health Tips
Since your periods have been irregular before, keep track of when your next period actually arrives.
