Hello,
The emergency pill contains a high dose of progesterone. So it can cause mild Hormonal imbalance and could lead to brown discharge.
If the discharge doesn't stop in the next few days than pelvic examination is to be done for further workup.
It's advisable to rule out pregnancy by urine hcg card test if period delayed for a week (Emergency pill effective up to 95-97%, so if period delayed than a pregnancy has to be ruled out).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
