Do I still need to use a condom during sex or is my pill protecting me?

Question

Hello, after forgetting to take a Leeloo Gé pill, I took a morning-after pill, Norlevo, within 24 hours because I had had sex 2 days before. It was more than 10 days ago but I heard that the morning after pill could decrease the efficiency of the pills. Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me. So when it is written on the leaflet "After using this emergency contraception, it is strongly recommended to use a local method of contraception (condom, spermicide, cervical cap) until your period", this does not concern me if I am on the pill?

Hello, there are 2 types of morning-after pills, and it is the one called Ella that can temporarily decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. Fortunately, the one you received does not present this risk. There is no problem, as long as you continue to take the pill regularly without forgetting.
