Hi,
Thanks for the query.
There should be at-least two months gap between the usage of emergency pills.
Repeated usage can lead to menstrual irregularity and other related problems.

If you are having no other option, you can use them.
But after that try to use some regular contraceptive method to avoid these problems.

Take care.
