Combined hormonal pills as emergency contraceptive pills

Many people will have doubt regarding whether combined hormonal pills can be used for emergency contraception purpose.

Yes, combined hormonal pills can be used as emergency contraceptive pills in case of non availability of emergency pill.
For that four combined hormonal pills should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
Next four tablets should be taken within 24 hours of first dose.
But this should be taken only in case of emergency.
Because repeated intake of high dose pills can lead to menstrual irregularities.
And also side effects like nausea, vomiting, bloating sensation etc can occur.
So, better to use contraceptive pills regularly as per as possible.
