What Are The Side Effects Of Emergency Contraceptive Pills?

Hi,
Me and my girlfriend are planning to have sex in the month of October, But earlier this year we both got intimate and ended up having unprotected sex. So to avoid pregnancy my girl friend took 2 ipills[emergency pill's] on 2 continuous days. Now that i am traveling abroad we have decided to have sex. will the usage of Ipill with in a span of 6month have any adverse effect on her body ?.

Appreciate anyone who can help me clear my doubt. If any daily low dosage pills are recommended then kindly suggest a brand that can be brought in local chemist[INDIA] with out prescription and as we are not married and will not get intimate until for another 1 year kindly suggest fr how many days she needs to take this low dosage daily pills.

nothing to worry u can use nw,

as such side effects with emergency contraceptives are less if they are taken soon after intercourse.

but if you are planning to take for longer time at lower doses, the problem is weight gain.

better to use condom, than going for pills, as they always have side effects.
