Took Two Postinor Pills After Unprotected Sex. Should I Take Second Dose Again?
i had unprotected sex and 2 hours later took 2 postinor 2 pills. Should i take a second dose again? The use leaflet read either to take 1 then 1 after 12 hours...or take both pills at once. Should i take another pill or that suffices? Its still 48 hours since the sex.

Hello,
As you took TWO Postinor 2 pill soon after unprotected sex, then there is NO need to take additional pill.
It will give more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy. You will get a withdrawal bleeding within 5 to 7 days of taking pill and next period may be delayed due to hormonal imbalance. You must undergo one home pregnancy test if it is delayed more than 1 week.
Good luck and practice safe sex.
