Can Postinor 2 Be Taken More Than Once In A Month?

I had unprotected Sex 5 days after my period. I took postinor 2 within 24 hours. 2 days after I had unprotected sexual again but ensured that he did not ejaculate inside me. Can I still take postinor 2 again, just to be on the safe side or is the first dosage expected to still be active ?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, the effect of first dose is not present at the time of second unprotected Intercourse.
So you are should definitely take another dose to prevent pregnancy.
There is no such limit for prostinor. But more frequently you take more will be the hormonal imbalance and more side effects.
So it is better to avoid unprotected Intercourse and use condom if you don't want pregnancy.
Once a month prostinor use will not cause any side effects but more than this will definitely cause hormonal side effects.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
