Will The Effectiveness Of Next Choice Pill Decrease If It Taken 6 Hours Late ?

hello, I had unprotected sex and I took the first Next Choice pill within the same day. The directions say to take the second pill 12 hours after the first dose, but I fell asleep early and ended up taking it 18 hours late. Will the effectiveness of the pills decrease if the second one isn t taken exactly 12 hours later?
