yes emergency pills are available but the efficacy is not that accurate and it usually causes mensural irregularities so go for conventional pills.

Yes you can take regarding protection it's not 100%,and another point pill will be of high dose and once ok to use but never use as routine as it is associated with side effects
For future protection please use either oc pills which are low dose more effective or you can go for copper IUD
