Brief Answer:
Yes! It will work.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
If she get two tablets at the same time there is no issue with it.
One tablet contains 0.75 mg of levonorgesterol, so if she consumed two tablet at the time she consumed only 1.5mg of levonorgesterol( new preparation contain 1.5 mg of levonorgesterol in a single dose name postinor 1).
Hence please do not get tense, the drug will work properly and the side effect is same as with a single dose.
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to assist you.
Good luck.
