Q: 

Over dosage of Postinor 2

I took both pills in one dosage, is this dangerous or less effective? Also, what are the usual side effects after taking the pills and how soon after? I took the pills about a 17 days ago and now I'm spotting ( not heavy but blood is present). Could this be a side effect?

Hello Anonymous,

Do Not take another dose of Postinor 2.

You should not have taken the first dose. It was not necessary.

Though it was unprotected sex, it happened three days after the last day of your period. It was too soon in your new menstrual cycle for ovulation. There was no released egg to be fertilized.

Please consider using some type of birth control on a regular basis. Condoms, birth control pills or having an IUD placed are better options. Emergency contraceptives are intended to be used in emergency situation.

Hello Anonymous,

What exactly do you mean by week after week? How many times in one month have you taken it? For how many months have you taken it?

Postinor 2 is intended to be used only in emergency situation. It should never be taken more than once in a one month period of time.

You must contact your gynecologist today. There could be a serious hormonal problem caused by taking this pill too often.

Hello Anonymous,

No. Taking two tablets of Postinor 2 at once will not destroy your womb.

Hello Anonymous,

Taking two doses at the same time should not have affected the effectiveness. It should still work, if taken before ovulation and within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
