Hello,

I understand your concern. You do not specify the reason why you took the postinor tablets for three days in a row. And I am not sure either as to why you took two tablets at the same time.
The morning after pill (Postinor) comes in two tablets. The first one is to be taken as soon as possible after the intercourse, and the second 12 hours later. And all this should happen within the first 72 hours after the intercourse.
Overdosing in Postinor usually causes stomach upset, vomiting, tiredness, headache and diarrhea. It is not life threatening though. If you feel like these symptoms are getting worse, please call or see a doctor.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
