Can Unwanted 72 Be Taken Regularly To Prevent Pregnancy?

my gf and i had sexual intercourse last sunday(a week ago) using a condom. when we took out the condom it seemed that it was torn, so to be on a safer side she had taken a pill of unwanted 72. We again had sex today and while taking out the condom it got inside out in the opening of her vagina. Is it alright if she takes another dose of unwanted 72 right now?...her period date is 2 weeks later from now.

Welcome to HCM. By safe I assume you mean is there going to be any negative harm to her. The answer is no. However, she may have bleeding that starts and it may be longer than usual, if you find that you are using this pill more than once in a 3 month period, it may be safe to assume that she needs to be on birth control and this would be a better approach. I hope this helps and good luck.
