morning after pill and starting birth control

my girlfriend and I have had a scare and we want to take the morning after pill (LEV 0.75) and also want to start birth control pills.  Her period was a few days ago and we are wondering if she can take the morning after today and then start the regular birth control tomorrow or the next day?

we bought madonna Levonorgestrel .75
and a combo pill desogestrel .15 with ethinylestradiol .03

also the madonna pills are two....should she take one and then another twelve hours later, or two at once....the pharmacist said both, but most of what is online says 1 then another 12 hrs later

we are in thailand and she is too embarassed to go to a doctor herself...please help...thank you

in the mean time use condoms for each and every sexual intercourse. as birth control pills take atleast a month to be effective.

just take the morning after pill and start on the birth control like a week later as the dose of hormones are high in the morning after pill and may cause alot of side effects if you start birth control pill so soon. hope this helps. stay safe :)
