Hi,

You have to take only one pack. Don't take another pack of a tablet.

One Postinor-2 tablet has to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse and other tablets have to be taken 12 hours after the 1st tablet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya,
OBGYN
