Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Nordette is a combined oral contraceptive pill.
It should be taken for 21 days from 1st or 2nd day of the cycle according to the guidelines for complete protection in that month.

Taking the tablet only during the days of intercourse will not give protection.
These tablets can be taken for emergency contraception purpose.
But using high doses at frequent intervals is not advisable.
So, better to use the pills on regular basis as per as possible.
Take care.
