Im Miss Rivera, I just want to confirm if its safe to take nordette twice in a week as an emergency contraceptive. I know its a regular birthcontrol pill and it is not an emergency contraceptive and yet is it used by few people in high dose like 4 pills with in 120hours after intercourse but I was just told to take it as a precaution.
Hi thanks for your question. Yes you can take regular contraceptive pills in high doses for emergency contraception (EC)theoretically speaking taking EC twice a week is safe, but it should not be made as routine as EC causes a lot of irregular and heavy bleeding sometime to the dangerous level along with a lot of gastric upset and menstrual cycle get disturbed. It should be reserved for emergency use only. Hope this answers your question.
