Query about emergency contraception.

Resolved question:
I am in a foreign country and had a little accident and had to take the morning after pill. I took Postiner (the pill sold in Thailand) but the dosage directions were in Thai and the pharmacists did not speak english. I took one pill (with 4 hours of the incident) and then did some research only to find out that I was supposed to take both pills in one dose. I took the second pill about an hour after the first one...Will the pill still be effective?

Hello,

Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.

Do you happen to know the name of the pill (Chemical name / brand name) ? There are certain pills you can take a repeat dose, just to be sure.
Anyway since you have taken the repeat dose within few hours there is no reason to worry. It should be as effective as a combined dose.

Thank you
