Why is emergency contraception not recommended as a regular contraceptive method?

Emergency contraceptives, like Plan B, are not recommended as a regular contraceptive method because they do not offer long-term protection. They are meant to be used in cases of emergency after unprotected sex. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss more reliable contraceptive options for everyday use.
