Will Taking 10 Pills Of Belara Work As Emergency Contraceptive?

i need help with something .. My girlfriend has taken the Birth control pill Belara , and someone told us if we take 10 of those pills it will work as a Plan B pill or a Morning after pill ... do you think this would work ?
and does she need to take those 10 pills again after 12 hours ?

Hi,

I appreciate your concerns.
Belara does not work as emergency contraception. Please purchase Plan B and use it at the earliest. Though it can be used for up to 120 hours after unprotected sex it is used, the earlier it is used, more effective it is.

Certain contraceptive pills can be used as emergency contraception. Eg; Seasonale, Trivora, Nordette, Lo/ovral ( take 4 pills within 120 hours of intercourse and take 4 more pills after 12 hours) , Lutera, Sronyx(take 5 pills within 120 hours of intercourse and take 5 more pills after 12 hours).. But I do not know whether these pills are available in your country.

In order to avoid such unnecessary stress let your girl friend consult her doctor and start using regular contraception like birth control pills.

I hope this helps.
