Suggest Dosage For Postinor 2

I had unprotected sex yesterday about 7:30 PM and I took Postinor 2 today at about 08:00PM. But unfortunately for me, I took the whole doase (which is two tablets) at the same time. Do I need to take another dosage tomorrow? Will the two tablets taken at the same time work efficiently?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
Ideally one tablet of postinor 2 should be taken with in 24 hours after sex and another tablet should be taken after 12 hours.
As you taken both tablet together there is no need to take another tablet after 12 hours.It will act efficiently.
There may be chance of progetsrone withdrawal bleeding after 3-5 days.
And period will be delayed for 7-10 weeks.
So be calm. both tablets taken together work efficiently. (failure rate is 5 percent if taken with in 24 hours).
If period will delay by more then 14 days then you have to go for pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
