A member asked:
Can regular contraceptive pills in higher dose be used to avoid pregnancy if morning after pill is not available?if so how i.e, what brand, dose etc?

Pills Work!: In my experience. any marketed oral contraceptive, high-dose or low-dose, if taken as directed, offers perfect contraception. The varying dosages are available for problems such as spotting.
