No: I is not dangerous - however, lo sprintec is not a good option for this - go to your pharmacy and the emergency contraceptions are now over the counter - so do that

Not dangerous: Pills designed as emergency contraception, such as Plan B, have a higher dose of hormones than typical birth control pills. The recommendation to take four birth control pills is made to reach the same level of hormones as one emergency contraception pill. Taking more than one birth control pill should have no more risk than taking the emergency contraception pills.
