What Is The Dosage Of Nordette

Then, same week, friday, we had another unprotected sex, does she need to take nordette again as an emergency contraceptive or will there be still effects of the pill tkaen last tuesday? Will she be overdosed if she takes another 8 pills? ( 4 right away and 4 after 12 hours) Please help.

Hello,
Intake of emergency contraception at frequent intervals creates hormonal imbalances and disturbed menstrual cycles. Therefore, I would ask you to go for regular contraception in future. To attend the present problem, the pills consumed during the last incident are no longer effective for this period and she needs some precaution if she happens to be in the fertile period. You may go for another pill or better still, go for insertion of an IUD after consulting an expert. Hope this helps.
