Hi,

Usually the dose of morning after pill is one tablet stat and other after 12 hours. You may also take a single dose of two tablet stat. That is the only dose of morning after pill. Usually each tablet contains 1.5 milligram of levonorgestrel.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
