Second dose at 12 hours of first dose

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HealthcareMagic.

Yes, it is very effective as emergency contraception. One dose is taken within 12 hours and second after 12 hours.

It is not to be used regularly. So I will suggest that you use other forms of contraception.

Hope it helps.
