Plan B is not indicated for multiple acts of intercourse. Emergency contraception helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. If your friend had unprotected sex again, she would need to take Plan B again.
Plan B is not intended to be a long term method of birth control. Additionally, taking it frequently can alter your cycle and actually increase your risk of pregnancy.
Your friend should consider beginning a long term method of birth control. When used correctly & consistently, condoms can be effective at preventing pregnancy. Beginning a long term method like birth control pills, the patch, Depo injection, etc. would help her prevent pregnancy and decrease the need for emergency contraception.
Family Planning Plus clinics offer free exams and birth control at little to not cost, depending on household size & income.
