Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill which needs to be taken within 72 hours after an unprotected intercourse.
I hope, you have taken two tablets within the time as mentenioned so that it would offer protection against pregnancy effectively.
Since they are hormonal preparations, feeling of dizziness could be due to side effect of the pill.
Hence, relax and eat healthy food supplemented with good quantity of fluids.
You need to get withdrawal bleeding in the form of periods within 3 weeks from the day you take the pill.
In case if it doesn't happen, you need to take medical assistance immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
