Brief Answer:
No need to take any other pill.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
There is no need to take any other pill.
By taking Postpone 72 on 5th and 6th, she is protected from all the days when unprotected sex happened.
Taking Postpone 72 repeatedly will lead to lots of side effects and complications.
Also, her periods will become very irregular and unpredictable.
If she wants to avoid pregnancy, then it is best to use condoms or regular birth control pills.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
