Brief Answer:
No, there is no need for any pill

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I do not think your girlfriend needs any pill provided she have regular periods. Generally the first 10 days of the month is safe so any intercourse during this period does not lead to any pregnancy.

In future prefer use of condom as it is the most safe contraceptive.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to contact me.
Thanks and regards.
