We can't say that she is 100 percent safe.
Ipill has high failure rate
If she is not having periods on the expected date then do the pregnancy test.
Use other method for contraception from next cycle.

In this cycle it is all right. But in the next cycle it will be better if you use one of the time tested methods like a Copper T or Oral contraceptive pill.

There are 10% chances of failure.
So kindly do a pregnancy test of period is missed, for confirmation.
Nothing else can be done at present. Wait for expected period date.

She may not be safe
Emergency pills have a high failure rate
She can be pregnant despite taking one
Cinnamon tea and papaya may not help prevent a pregnancy
Prevention is before the act never after
