Brief Answer:
No,this is not OK.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
She first need to understand that plan B contraception is an emergency pill that is intended to take only in emergency cases i.e after unprotected sexual intercourse ,if an incident with the condom occur ,if the birth control pill isn't taken regularly as indicated.
The emergency pill is recommended only in emergency cases and it should be used rarely.It can't be used as a regular contraception method.
Using too often plan B pill can cause serious side effects.
If your girlfriend takes the birth control pill regularly and strictly as indicated from the doctor she doesn't need to use the emergency pill.
If she doesn't feel 100% safe with birth control pill she can chose to add another contraception method to avoid pregnancy i.e using a condom.
Using the emergency pill after sexual intercourse as a regular method of contraception is totally contraindicated.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
