Hi,
Combined oral contraceptive pills are not an alternative for morning after pill.The contents and dose of both the drugs are totally different. Morning after pill contains high dose of Levonorgesterol. High doses are required for emergency contraception.Combined pills have two hormones at low doses and will take a week for action and hence cannot be used as an emergency contraception.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
