Prevent Pregnancy: First of all, you may have side effects from multiple pills. The most common ones are nausea or vomiting which goes away quickly. Second, the pills will likely prevent a pregnancy, that might have otherwise grown in the uterus, from doing that. The pills alter the uterus to make it temporarily difficult for a potential pregnancy to stick and grow there.
