How Long Does Postinor 2 Protect Against Pregnancy?

Dear Dr., if I took postinor 2 on Sunday night (1st tablet) & Monday morning (2nd tablet ) this week after unprotected sex last Saturday night, will I need to take another postinor 2 or any other contraceptive after having unprotected sex this night i.e just within 4-5 days of taking postinor 2. Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Postinor is an emergency contraception pill which is taken within 2-3 days of intercourse. If you are having unprotected intercourse within 4-5 days you need to take another course of the pills for contraception.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
