Drank Hot Milk After Taking Postinor-2 After Unprotected Sex. Will It Reduce Effectiveness Of Pill?

Hi and Good day sir

So i had an unprotected sex last night for some reason,
However, i didn't ever ejaculate inside nor outside the vagina i was just too tired to do it, and ejaculating makes me more exhausted.
And after the sex, just in case, we bought a Postinor-2 and she took it.
But just about 45 minutes after the pill taken, she drank a glass of hot milk.
My question is, will the milk affect any effectiveness of the pill or dilute it?
Huge thanks
Have a blessed day

Hi.No formal study of the effect of food on the absorption of
levonorgestrel has been undertaken so far.Postinor-2 is not intended as a regular method of contraception. It is used to prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. It is estimated that Postinor-2 will prevent 85% of expected pregnancies. 95% of expected pregnancies will be prevented if taken within the first 24 hours, declining to 58% if
taken between 48 hours and 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.Hope this helps.Take care.
