Detailed Answer:
So she is very close to her next period.
I pill does not work well after ovulation.
However to be on safer side she may take it.
Loose motions would reduce efficacy of pills.
There is no correlation with food and it can be taken anytime.
Both brands are good, you may choose any one .
Precautions are that avoid unprotected sex till next period.
She may have cramps spotting or irregular bleeding for a few days as side effects.
Take care
