Hi,
Nordette 28 contains both estrogen and progestrone, in case of an emergency a dosage should be taken right away (4 light orange pills), a second dose should be taken 12 hours later, no sooner (also 4 pills).
If taken the right way and in the right way, you shouldnt get pregnant. But if you show any symptoms that you are worried about, call a health care provider right away.
I hope this answered your question.
