Pill is pretty damn reliable (I think, taken reliably, the only better method is a vasectomy!)
However, if she forgets to take it (remember must be within 12hr of normal for combined pill, 3hr for Progestagen-only-pill) you can have problems.
Also, mind if she has vomiting, or diarrhoea the pill may not be absorbed correctly. A lot of antibiotics can give you a bit of diarrhoea so it's worth being careful whilst taking them, and a few can directly interact with the pill (though whichever doctor gives them to you should check this through for you).
But most important is to remember that the pill doesn't protect against STDs - unless you think pregnancy is one! So use a condom with it for double protection if you're not with a regular partner.

Hope that helps!
