Wait for 6 hrs

Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern

Was the 2 tablets today morning taken orally or vaginally? If it is orally it will take 6 hrs for the onset of bleeding. If it is vaginally, bleeding starts in 2 hrs.

So if taken orally can wait for 6 hrs. The next tablet can be taken according to your doctor's instruction.. If bleeding doesnot start in a day visit your doctor to get a scan done and repeat the dose if required.

Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day
