Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

1) You did sex in SAFE period and took TWO tab of Postinor-2 on next day. It will give extra protection. Here, you have NO chance of pregnancy.

2) Brown bloody discharge is basically withdrawal bleeding due to effect of the pill. It is quite COMMON and physiological phenomena. Most women get this type of bleeding after taking the emergency pill. It will stop automatically within 2-5 days WITHOUT further medical treatment. Just maintain genital hygiene properly.

3) If bleeding is heavy or persistent, then I suggest you to take TRANEXAMIC ACID group of drug (twice daily for 3 days) to arrest bleeding. It is more effective.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
