Took my ECP(Nordette) second dose 24 hours later. Is it still effective?

Got my ECP after 24 hours of unprotected sex. Got my second Dose very late. Should I be worried?

Well, there are not guarantees with this.  If you missed a dose, you may have compromised the pill's efficacy.  However, often you CAN miss a single dose and take it the next day.  I can't give you a definite answer if it will still work but will guess it would.  You might want to use condoms for the next few weeks just to be safe. good luck
