yes she is still at risk for getting preganat. I think the pill is only 97% effective. yes she has to continue taking the pill.She needs a presiptation anyway, so she can ask her doctor.And ur right she is stupid for doing it, she shouldve used protection,

Well I think your friend is being smart and dumb!
You shouldn't ever have unprotected sex. She's smart for taking the day after pill because she made a mistake but on the other hand the day after pill is not a form a birth control.
If she takes it within 72 hours she should be okay. It actually should be taken the day after (hence the name of it). The longer she waits to take it the less effective it will be.
No you do not continue taking the pill. She takes it once and thats it. She may experience bleeding like a period and painful stomach aches for 2 days.
Tell her to buy some condoms or something. Shes not only risking pregnancy but she's risking STD's.

The day after pill should not be used because you didn't want to use birth control. It is not something that you should use instead of birth control. It is more like an emergency fix.

she needs to take both pills...and it should be within 3 days of when the sex happened...sometimes a person can take it up to 5 days after the sex happeneds...but the sooner the better

DO YOU MEAN THE MORNING AFTER PILL? IF SO SHE HAS TO TAKE IT WITHIN 72 HOURS OF HAVING SEX AND DEPENDING ON HOW LATE SHE WAITS SHE COULD BE PREGNANT... NO CONTINUING TAKING THE PILL WILL NOT MAKE HER ANY LESS PEGNANT...
