My friend is going to use the day after pill method. I was wondering, should she follow the dosage written here or should she take them as if she was talking the pill? (these are all birth control pills but as listed on http://ec.princeton.edu/worldwide/default.asp, these can be used as day after pills.)
Note: in 28-day packs, only the first 21 pills can be used
Take 2 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 2 more pills 12 hours later:
Femenal
Nordiol
Ovral
Take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and take 4 more pills 12 hours later:
Lady
Lo-Gentrol
Microgynon-30
Nordette
Rigevidon 21 + 7
Seif
Trust Pills

She wasn't taking the pill before. It would be the first time she took such pills.

She took Nordette at 320pm this afternoon, which is roughly 25-26 hours after unprotected sex, what are the chances of her getting pregnant?

if she takes them as she was taking the pill it may still allow the egg to implant she needs to take a higher dosage
you should contact family planning at the health department or your doctor or pharmacist with questions
