What happens if you eat too much emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. What will happen if I eat too many emergency contraceptive pills?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills should not be taken as a regular method of birth control; they are typically taken orally once within a month.
Emergency contraception pills generally do not cause significant harm to the body, but side effects may lead to menstrual irregularities or delayed periods.
The mechanism of action of emergency contraception pills is primarily to inhibit ovulation or prevent implantation, which occurs in the uterine lining. The recommended dosage is usually two pills: take one at a time. If you discover that your contraceptive has broken, you can take one pill immediately and then take the second pill after 12 hours.
