Question 1

Hi. i took the two tablets of postinor 2 at the same time. how effective is that ?

Accepted Answer

According to the Medical Letter, Postinor 2 is effective 50-80%. They should be started as soon as possible within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Routine contraception should be continued or initiated as soon as possible following use of levonorgestrel as fertility returns following the use of emergency contraception with levonorgestrel.

Question 2

I feel a difficulty in breathing after consuming postinor-2 two days ago. what is going on?

Accepted Answer

If you took the medication two days ago and are now experiencing difficulty breathing then the medication is not likely the cause of your respiratory issues. See your doctor to evaluate the breathing issues. If you feel short of breath right now then you need to be seen urgently.

Question 3

I had unprotected sex  and took postinor 2(two tablets at once) yesterday afternoon...i had unprotected sex this morning. do i need to take another on?

Accepted Answer

Taking "Postinor" the day before will cover the day after as much as "morning after" type birth control can do, but this method is not completely reliable, so if your period is delayed, get a serum HCG test to be sure you are not pregnant.

Question 4

I had unprotected sex on 4 july and took the postinor2 effectively n bled, then on 25th exactly two weeks after had unprotected sex but took the postinor on 27th today, will it be effective?

Accepted Answer

One should stop using emergency contraception so often, and get on a reliable ongoing non-emergency contraception... such as an IUD, birth control pills, contraceptive implant, condoms, etc.  Postinor and other emergency contraceptives work most of the time but not all of the time, so one can do a home pregnancy test 3 weeks after sex to confirm non-pregnancy.

Question 5

I used postinor 2 two hours after sex and the second pill exactly 12 hours after...what is d percentage of still being pregnant?

Accepted Answer

95% of expected pregnancies will be prevented if  Postinor 2 is taken within the first 24 hours of sexual intercourse.

Question 6

Hi doc, im taking 2 pills of postinors-2. is this okay? the instruction sheet says i should take two but internet says shoukd take 1 first

Accepted Answer

may be protective; however, may cause heavy vaginal bleeding, depending on your regular menstrual flow.

Question 7

Wht could cause a two days bleeding after 5wks of unsafe sex? postinor 2 was taken on the 2nd day after sex these led to 5days bleeding on the 3rd day

Accepted Answer

Plan B, Postinor 2, and other brands of emergency contraceptive pills can alter the menstrual cycle vaginal bleeding for the cycle in which Plan B or Postinor 2 was taken, and sometimes the next month's cycle too. One should be sure to check a home pregnancy test about 3 weeks after sex, because emergency contraceptive pills work most of the time, but not all the time.

Question 8

How long will it take for my period to regularize after taking postinor 2 twice in two days?

Accepted Answer

Usually (but not always) menses will normalize within one cycle.

Question 9

Hi, my girlfriend took two postinor 2 tablets at once, and now has a skin rash, is it serious, and how long will it take to go away? thanks :)

Accepted Answer

"A skin rash" is too vague for any diagnosis. Probably the skin change is due to something else, not the hormone. No harm from extra pill except it might make her nauseated.

Question 10

We had sex two weeks ago and my condom broke and she took postinor-2 45mins after and now she is seeing blood two days after her normal cycle. pls help what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect of any hormonal therapy medication for contraception. Usually the emergency hormonal therapy has a type of progesterone that helps to thin the endometrial lining making it incompatible with implantation of the embryo. The thinning can likely cause this bleeding she is seeing. Seek help from her primary doc if bleeding continues.
