A member asked:

I had sex and i took postinor2 three hours after the sex. i took the two pills at once. will it still be effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There are two types of Postinor used for the same purpose--emergency contraception: Postinor-1 and Postinor-2. Postinor-1 contains the same amount of progesterone as taking both pills of Postinor-2 at the same time. Taking them together is effective but you may have more nausea. Best wishes!
