I took Postinor 2 after 48 hours later of having unprotected sex. And I took it yesterday at 5 pm. After taking it i had 2 times vomiting. Still i haven’t take the second tablet. Now i m having diarrhoea. These days i think my ovulation can occur. Am I safe or do i have to do see a doctor.

Hello Anon

If you vomited within 30 mins of taking the medication , it may not work. You need to take two more, especially if you think you will ovulate soon.

We can't say if your illness is due to taking the medication or something else.

Hi,

You will have to wait and see. If you took the second dose, even if late, you might be ok. A pregnancy test would be accurate 14-21 days after sex.

Hello,

Both tablets are meant to be taken for effectiveness, so there may be some risk of pregnancy.

Hello Anon
Yes, take the second pill after 12 or now if you haven't. Diarrhea may be a side effect - take the medication anyway and an over-the-counter medication for diarrhea if it doesn't stop soon.
Best,
Susan
