Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Emergency pill will alter the menstrual cycle depending on the period of the menstrual cycle the woman took the pill.
As your girl friend took the pill in the first half of the cycle it might have preponed the menstrual period.

Usually this bleeding will subside soon with out need of medication. So wait for two more days possibly by that time the bleeding will subside, if not better to consult gynecologist once.
Take care.
