Brief Answer:
Please swith over to reliable method of contracption

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Unwanted 72, as its name suggests need to be taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sex. After its effect, if again you had performed unprotected sex, you will have to repeat the pills.

However, few days after these pills, you may get some amount of bleeding, which is expected. Also, your next menses may be delayed by few days to a week. More the number of pills you take, more will be the period of delay.

To avoid such stressful situations, hence forward, please practice some reliable birth control method like contraceptive pills, condom or intrauterine device. Repeated consumption of post coital contraception pills may disturb your hormonal balance.

For any more information, you may ask a follow up question. I am always available for you, XXXX to solve your health issues.
