Can I take the morning-after pill even if I use the contraceptive patch?

Question

Yesterday was the 4 week mark so I had to take the patch off to get my period but I had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside my vagina but I decided not to take the patch off yet and said that maybe I could take the morning after pill.

Good morning, ma'am, Are you able to detail the situation, i.e. why you think you need emergency oral contraception? Thank you for the feedback. If you have been wearing the patch as prescribed, i.e., 1 patch changed every 7 days with no misses, and the period with the 3rd week patch does not exceed 7 days, your contraceptive remains effective. Emergency oral contraception is therefore not required according to the information provided. However, I recommend that you contact your pharmacist to confirm this and because an in-person or telephone consultation may be more detailed. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
