Hello justin ;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The success of Nordett as emergency contraceptive pill is same as any other ECP because it is a hormonal pill.It is successful but the better option is that if you are sexually active and if it is required to be used more than once a month then you should use Nordett as a regular contraceptive pill and it should be taken daily.
Thanks

Hi,
The success rate of combined emmergency pills ,when taken in proper time(as you have taken) is fairly high. (though not100%.)the comming periods can be late .so advice is to wait for normal periods for3 to 4 wks maximum .in case there is no bleeding better toseek expert advice &MTP thereafter.
wish you all the best!

hi,
emmergency contraceptive pill acts by delaying ovulation.so depending on the phase of cycle it was taken,delay for period will vary from nil to maximum2 to 3 wks.
so one can expect menses till 3 wks of taking Emmergency pill.
