Please do not depend on Postinor 2 as your regular form of birth control. It is intended to be used only in an emergency situation such as the condom broke.
Emergency contraceptives contain high doses of the synthetic hormone found in most oral contraceptives. Taking these pills too often can cause problems, such as become less effective over time and upset the hormonal balance that regulates the menstrual cycle.
