Should I Take Yasmin Pills Instead Of Morning After Pills?

Hi - I live in the UAE and had unprotected sex with my husband-I took 12 Yasmine pills and 12 hours later another 12 as emergency contraception due to morning after pill not being here . My last period was on the 26th or 27th last month -- please help

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yasmin can be used as emergency contraception but it is 4 tabs initially then 4 tabs 12 hours later.

Using 12 tabs at one time is too many. No additional medication should be used at this point.

I hope this helps
