Should I Take Another Birth Control Pill At This Time?

I took the plan b pill within 14 hours after having sex, I then took the next dose today with my regular birth control. Last night the condom broke and have only been taking my tablet form of birth control for seven days now. Should I take another plan b? Or will their be severe long term affects?

Hello dear
Understand your concern

If you are on regular birth control pill already (without any missed pill) then no need of plan B pill as it cause high progesterone in the body and hormonal imbalance.
Take the remaining birth control pill regular on same time without missing pill.
So no need to take another plan B tablet as birth control pill is very effective in preventing the pregnancy(failure rate only 0.5-1 percent)
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
