I had postinor 2 yesterday and had sex today(less than 12 hours from the second pill yesterday) .
Should I take it again or is the pill still effective?

Hello Anon!

Since P2 needs to be taken after sex, we can't say for sure if you need to take another dose. You may be covered already - it's likely you are. But there are no guarantees.
