Taking two Postinor-2 tablets at once is generally not expected to cause serious harm , and it is actually one of the accepted ways this emergency contraceptive is taken. Postinor-2 contains 2 tablets of levonorgestrel 0.75 mg each , and the tablets may be taken together as a single dose or one after the other, depending on the instructions used in your area.

What you might feel

You may notice mild short-term side effects such as:

  • nausea.
  • vomiting.
  • headache.
  • dizziness.
  • breast tenderness.
  • spotting or changes in your next period.

These effects are usually temporary.

When to get help

  • If you vomit within 2 hours of taking it, you may need another dose because the medicine may not have been absorbed.
  • If your period is more than 7 days late , take a pregnancy test.
  • Get urgent medical help if you have severe lower abdominal pain , very heavy bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Important note

Postinor-2 is for emergency contraception , not regular birth control, and it works best when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
