If you are sick (Nauseous, vomit) within 2 hours of taking the
first tablet, you should take the second tablet in the pack at once
and contact your doctor or clinic immediately for another
tablet
If you are sick within 2 hours of taking the second tablet you
should contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately
1) Note : If you have taken several pills at a time, you may feel
sick, vomit or have vaginal bleeding. Ask your doctor or pharmacist
for advice if you are at all worried.
2) Note : If you are sick, or have very severe diarrhoea less than
2 hours after taking this medicine, or if you have a disease of the
small bowel (such as Crohn's disease) that interferes with the
absorption of your food, the active ingredient of Postinor-2 may
not have been completely absorbed. You should contact your doctor
or clinic who may need to give you another course of
treatment.
3) Note : Like all medicines Postinor-2 can have side
effects:
Feeling sick (nauseous); about a quarter of women who take
Postinor-2 feel sick for a short while afterwards
Being sick (vomiting); only about 5 in every 100 women who take
Postinor-2 will actually be sick.
Postinor-2 may change your pattern of menstrual bleeding; although
most women will have their next period at the normal time, some
will have a later, or earlier than normal period. There may also be
some irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting until your next
period
If your next period is more than 7 days late, go back to your
doctor who will need to check that you are not pregnant
If your next period is abnormal (too light, much heavier than
usual, or especially painful) you should see your doctor without
delay
Some women get tender breasts, headaches, feel dizzy or feel tired
after taking Postinor-2. These symptoms will get better within a
few days.
Don't engage in unprotected sex next time. If you are unmarried,
better don't engage in sex at all.
Good luck!
