Hello anonymous and thanks for your question.
Postinor-2 is a brand of medicine containing levonorgestrel as the active ingredient. It is used to prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. It is estimated that Postinor-2 will prevent 85% of expected pregnancies. 95% of expected pregnancies will be prevented if taken within the first 24 hours, declining to 58% if taken between 48 hours and 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.
It is not known whether Postinor-2 is effective if taken more than 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.There is no way of knowing if taking this drug at this time will be effective for you.
Hope that helps,
Pam
