Q: 

Hi. I took postinor 2 on the other day and had unprotected sex 16 hours later. Do I have to take the pills again?

Hello. Thank you for writing.

Emergency contraception is for emergencies (such as contraception failure). It should be taken within 72 hours after sex. You should not take more than is advised in the dosing instructions. Read the information that comes with the pills so you know what to expect.
