Difference between Postinor 1 and Postinor 2 

These are emergency contraceptive tablets that help to prevent pregnancy in case of unprotected sexual intercourse. Women are advised to take one tablet immediately after any unprotected act of sexual intercourse, up to 4 pills per month.

The nature of the consumption requires that women should have these tablets in possession before they are in need of them.  Clinical studies have reported that these contraceptive emergency tablets have a failure rate of less than 1% and very few side effects. Side effects include 10-15% vomiting and 20-35% bleeding. These side effects can be seen only if more than 4 pills are used in one months’ time.  However, it is important to consult a doctor or a physician before taking these tablets.
