Hi,

Postinor 2 is a high dose hormonal preparation. You have repeated such preparation in few days. The result is upset of gastric reaction in form of upset, acidity or nausea. Pill of antacid like Histac 150 mg twice a day along with bland, non-irritating diet would help you.

Apart such an over dose may give you irregular periods for few months likely to be automatically corrected, if not consult a gynecologist after 3 months (use some barrier contraceptive to avoid pregnancy these days. Also instead of taking emergency contraceptive frequently, you should go for cyclical oral contraception or IUD.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
