Dear doctor. Me and my girlfriend had sex few days back and we had a condom broke which we noticed after ejaculation. Within 5 hours she took an option 72 pill 1.5 mg and also she took one more pill (option 72, 1.5 mg) after almost 2.5 days. My first doubt is that can taking two pills in 2 days gap cause any serious side effects. Secondly what are the chances that she may get pregnant. It was on the 18th day after her previous periods which was on 19th August and she is expecting her next periods by 20th September. Please advice. Yours Sincerely.

Hello! There was no need to take two pills of pill 72. One tablet within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse is enough to prevent a pregnancy. But these medicines have a side effect. They spoil the menstrual cycle. So maybe for 1-2 months her period may be irregular. But no major issues.
