Hello, I am 20 years old. my boyfriend and I had sex yesterday unfortunately, the condom broke and it was too late when we found out that he ejaculated inside me. I bought Pfizer NORDETTE® to use it as an emergency contraceptive . How many pills should I take for each dosage? Some said I should take 4 and some said I should take only 2. I m confused. please help me. Thank you!

hello and welcome to healthcare magic forum!
Actually if it was a safe period then you wont be needing a contraceptive but if it is not then it's okay to take it according to the instruction on the pack , which is 4 pills usually ,however please do conatct the nearest physician for safety of avoiding any side effect.
also a sincere advise is not to use too many contaceptive pills which cause hormonal problems later.
wishing you good health!
