A member asked:

Can i take birth control as the morning after pill? condom broke during intercourse last night and i'm not able to get the morning after pill, but i have reclipsen which is my ordinary birth control. if i take several of those- would it be the equivalent?

No, : No, that is not the equivalent. In most areas the morning after pill is available without a prescription. You can call a pharmacy (ask for a pharmacist) and ask their advice, and they can fill it if you want.

That depends: Some oral contraceptives can be taken in larger amounts to act as emergency contraception- but many can not.
