It's not advised to take more than the recommended dose. Emergency contraception contains a stronger dose of hormones than birth control pills and should be used for emergencies situations. It can help in instances of unexpected intercourse where protection was not used, used incorrectly, or the condom broke. It's also an important option for women who were forced to have sex.
The effectiveness of ECP may be reduced with multiple uses. ECP is not as effective as many hormonal or barrier methods used consistently and/or during sex. If you take Plan B more than once in a cycle, you are more likely to have menstrual irregularities as well as other side effects.
