Hi.. Birth control pills are not post exposure birth pills.. Post exposure prophylaxis is possible only with emergency contraceptive pills when used before 72hours following exposure.. The method of using birthcontrol pills are usually indicated on the label of the pill itself.. You can follow as instructed..
