After taking the morning-after pill on July 2, I have been having prolonged bleeding (light but red and continuous since July 9). Is this normal?

Hello, thank you for your question!
Although the situation is quite unpleasant, spotting is a very possible side effect of the emergency oral contraceptive. In the mildest cases, it goes away after a few days, but in other cases, small amounts of bleeding may appear irregularly for several weeks, but this is not indicative of a problem.
I hope I've reassured you, don't hesitate if you have any other questions!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
