Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No need to take additional pill. The emergency pill work for a period of one day. Emergency pills act by inhibiting ovulation and the effect will last for one to five days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
