Brief Answer:
no risk of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I understand your health concerns.
There is nothing to worry as her period time is near so this time is safe in terms of having sexual activity along with that she took emergency contraception too so protection is more enhanced.
Just wait for periods and stay relaxed.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
no need to take another tablet

Detailed Answer:
You don't need to give her another tablet at all.. Once taken it provides protection for 72 hours and it was already her safe days of the cycle.
Just calm down and relax.
Just wait for her periods as I told you earlier.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Manisha.
