Morning after pill

Hi, Right somebody please help me! On saturday i had to take the morning after pill which i bought at the chemist ( £24!!) i sat down spoke to the pharmacist and she explained to me that there is one tablet in packet and that i would need another one if i threw up. I didnt throw up so i assumed i didnt need another one, but i thought you were supposed to take two so will it have worked?? xx

nope, they used to give people levonelle 2, which is two tablets to be taken 12 hours apart.

now they normally give out levonelle, which is just one tablet.

don't worry.

if you're thinking this cos you've watched corrie and rosie had to take 2... well i don't know what they're doing really.

i took just one as well, jenna's right about it changing to a combined tablet. i know its painful to spend so much money, especially if it wasnt your fault you had to (so many possibilities!), but its worth the peace of mind. hope you're ok, it can be a bit stressful cant it!

Levonelle One step is a one tablet form which is given, some places give levonelle 2 (the one where you take one straight away then one 12 hours later)
As for the cost, depending on where you live, it can be free. I worked in lloyds in the village where i live at home, it costs £24 there, i worked last summer at boots in the next district, there its given out for free. Its just cos this country is weird.

when i had to take it (missed pill) I was really lucky cos our next door neighbour is a GP, and she wrote me out a prescription straight away. But yes, it used to be 2 pills and is now just 1.
