+Nordette as an Emergency Contraceptive, take all pills no more than 120 hours (five days) after unprotected sex. It is most effective when taken within 72 hours (three days). Dosage for emergency contraception: take four light orange pills and, exactly 12 hours later, take another four light orange pills.+
If you had period-like bleeding you are probably safe from pregnancy. Be aware, this is strong medicine and can mess up your cycle for bit. You might want to use condoms until you get back on a regular schedule. If you are really concerned you may be pregnant, you can always take a home pregnancy test.
