The effect of postinor

Im in my mid 20’s. I had unprotected sex yesterday, later I ate one pill of postinor. I want to ask, is there any side effects if we eat the 2nd pill more than 12 hours like i should?

Good morning, thank you for your queries.

First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding the usage of postinor and its side effects. For your information, Postinor is an emergency contraceptive pill and it is not a suitable for daily intake to prevent pregnancies. This drug is acting by preventing ovulation and increases the thickness of the mucosa lining of the womb to prevent any form of implantation of the zygote.

There are a few side effects that you should be aware upon overdosing :

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Headache
  • Breast pain
  • Tiredness and dizziness
  • Changes in menstrual bleeding
  • Diarrhea.

We could not say how many pills to be considered as an overdose to the body. We suggest you to follow the prescribed medicine instruction and wait out for its effect. If one of the symptoms above occurs or persisted, you should meet you nearest doctor for futher consultation for this medicine.
