How Effective Is Taking Postinor 2 Twice In A Month?

Hi there. I had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago. And I took postinor 2 The next morning. I got my period too 3-4 days after that. Then tonight, somehow the condom broke and I just took postinor 2 a few mins ago. Will the pill be effective taking it twice in a month? Need a reply asap :(

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

yes postinor 2 would be effective for the second time because you took it within 24 hours. But you should be careful in taking emergency pill like postinor in future.
Use condom or regular contraceptive pill as method of contraception in future. Take postinor 2 pills just in case of emergency. Taking more emergency contraceptive pills can cause problems like irregular periods, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.

For more queries consult a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
