Emergency Contraceptive Pill dosage
I took one emergency contraceptive pill (plan-B levonorgestrel pill) on last Saturday (22/2/25) due to contraceptive failure. After how many days can I take another emergency contraceptive pill? If I had to take another pill today, what will be the side effects?

Thanks for sending across your query ."
Next Steps
One tablet of emergency contraceptive pill is sufficient for 72 hours. If you will take another pill within 72 hours it can lead to hormonal changes and period will be delayed. Frequent use of emergency pill should be avoided.For further details you can consult with me in Dr. Monga medi clinic or consult me directly by taking a consultation on Practo.

Its safe for the recent few uses. But don't make it frequently using medicines, if you face repetitive contraceptive failure problems then you need help.
