Hi,
Duoluton tablet is a combination of two hormones levonorgestrel (0.25 mg) and ethinyl estradiol (0.05 mg) and is commonly used as a regular method of contraception (birth control). However, it can also be used as an emergency contraceptive (Yuzpe method) wherein the first dose of two tablets of duoluton should be taken within 72 hours following an unprotected sex which she has already done. Now the second dose of two tablets of duoluton should be taken 12 hours later (although being an hour or two early or late probably will not make a difference in how effective the pills are).
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
