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?

I had unprotected sex, and he didn't ejaculate inside me. I took both pills of P2 in one dosage about an hour later. Is that less effective? Or dangerous?

Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. It was not dangerous to take both pills at the same time. However, for the best results, it is a good idea to follow the directions.

Hello Anonymous,

You should never take Postinor 2 more than once in a menstrual cycle.

Without penetration and ejaculation, there was no risk. All you did was create a hormonal imbalance.

Please speak with your gynecologist.

Hello Anonymous,

Postinor 2 is intended to be used only in an emergency situation. It is never to be used as birth control.

Please call and speak with your gynecologist. A weekly flow of blood is very abnormal and indicates a very serious hormonal problem.
