HELLO,
thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
You can take i pill even if you have received the same 3 months ago.
It is always better to take emergency pill even if it is too early.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have further queries. I will be happy to help.

Is it safe...because...last time in January when i had used it..i had excessive bleeding and my periods came early, almost within a week. I, however, use i pill only in cases of emergency. In the last one year i have used it thrice

Hello,
It is normal and expected to get your periods within a week after i-pill.
There is nothing to worry.
You can repeat i-pill.
