Hi, Ashish.p.

Thank you for your post.

You do not use emergency contraceptives before sex. It is only to be used in emergency situations such as contraceptive failure or an unexpected (unprotected) intercourse. It should never be used as regular birth control. In the 1 pill pack, you have to take the pill within 72 hours of having unprotected sex (the sooner the better). For the 2 tablets version of Postinor, take the second tablet 12 hours after the first. Moving forward, you should use protection to avoid this kind of situation for the sake of your partner.

Hi Helena,
Thank you for answering my question earlier. But I wasn't able to update my question.

We had an unexpected intercourse. After the intercourse I gave her POSTINOR the 2 tablets version. The next day within 24 hours we had an intercourse again but this time the condom burst. So, is it possible that the the pills I gave her will still be effective or should i give her the pills again.

Thank you
