Emergency contraceptive pill as the name suggests is to be taken only in emergency when the contraceptive measure that you normally use fails or you forget to use that contraception. Emergency contraceptive pill should not be taken every day or every week. It can be taken on maximum every 6 months or maximum in a year. One should take the emergency contraceptive pill as soon as one realises that they have forgotten the usual contraception preferably within 24 hours, maximum within 72 hours.
