What's your question: Emergency contraception works best when taken as soon as possible after the deed. Most are effective up to 48-72hrs later. Remember that emergency contraception, like other hormonal birth control, doesn't protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Assuming she missed 4 pills, best to consider how to improve adherence eg alarm/reminder or pick some other form of contraception goo.gl/Ubxv1u
