Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
When taken within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse, the emergency contraceptive pill is more than 95 % effective in preventing a pregnancy.
So your girlfriend is protected against pregnancy, with only a 5 % chance of failure.
There is no point in getting a new dose of emergency contraception.
That will only increase the side effects.
if she misses her period, take a pregnancy test.
In general, the risk of falling pregnant is very low.
So do not worry
Take care.
