Brief Answer:
Abortion pills she can take.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sorry for such a long delay in my response.
If pregnancy occur than you can consult a Gynecologist and took abortion pills in her supervision.
Yes postpone 72 delayed her menses.
If she will not resume her menses in 7 days after her expected period date,get her urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
