Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Nordette is a regular contraceptive pill pack which could be used as emergency contraceptive solution as well. It is available as different packs or 21 tablets known as nordette 21 as well as 28 pill pack. The 21 pills are taken with a 7 day gap in between as compared to a 28 pill pack
For emergency contraception take 4 light orange tablets from pack of 28 Or 4 white pills from pack of 21 pills at a time before 120 hours of intercourse. These white pills you bought are equivalent to light orange pills from other pack. So they will work as light orange ones.
However early intake of pills is recommended as it is more successful in preventing pregnancy. Therefore you should take the four pills as early as possible.
Refer to your gynaecologist for more queries
Hope this information helps
