If I took the Escapelle pill in 3 weeks of taking the anti pills, and in 4 days (on Wednesday) I have to stop taking them for withdrawal bleeding, should I take this break, or is it better to continue taking them without breaks?

Escapelle is an emergency contraceptive that must be used within 72 hours after unprotected sex. Taking Escapelle does not mean you have to take a break from regular hormonal contraception.
Continuing to take birth control pills regularly is important to maintain continued protection against pregnancy. If Escapelle is used in the last days of the cycle, when a break in taking tablets was planned anyway, then this break should be made according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
If, despite everything, you are not sure about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
