Brief Answer:
Yes she can take after confirmation of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.I will suggest her to get a urine pregnancy test, if positive then she can take mifegest kit (containing mifepristone and misoprostol) to induce medical abortion. This kit should be taken under the guidance of a registered medical practitioner.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
