Altheapills as an emergency contraceptiv
Hello me and my gf had unprotected sex 3 times in 3 hours. After 2 hours, she took 3 althea pills, and she is planning to take 3 after 24 hours and another 3 after 24 hours. Is there anything wrong with what we are doing? Do you have any advices? Is taking 3 althea pills gonna work like a spermicide plan B method pill? Please do reply thank youuu

This is incorrect way of taking the pill. Plus Althea is not for emergency contraception. It doesn't have the required hormone you need in a morning after pill. It's difficult to predict if this will work. Better to consult a gynaecologist and get a proper prescription of a medicine available In your city
