Brief Answer:
You have to complete your 21 days course.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Actually duolton-L is a birth control pills and use for 21 days for contraception.
In your case if you want to use emergency pills you can take i-pill because it contains high dose of levonorgesterol in it.
If you want to take duolton than you have to take 5 pills at a time.
But i-pill is a better option.

Good luck.
