Brief Answer:
no need to take fresh postinor2 pill again

Detailed Answer:
hello,
Thanks for contacting HCM,
If you have taken postinor2 just 3 days back and you had a condom misadventure today , then that dose of postinor suffices and you need not take another pill again. The effect of the drug covers for 120 hrs in all.
