THIS IS EXTREMELY unsafe and therefore DON'T do it. There's a reason some medications (which is what birth control fits into) need prescriptions and that is because they can be damaging if other people take them and can affect other things so you need to go and discuss it with them yourself. If you do this then the chances of you having a bad reaction are increased as you won't have had your BP checked or discussed it with whoever prescribed it as well as the failure rate is potentially more likely to be increased as you're potentially going to be less aware of what you're taking. Not only that but doctors NEED to know all of the prescription meds you're taking, which may also be birth control, and so if they don't know it could lead to problems. As well as that, if you've already got health problems or are on other meds then this needs to be taken into account with what method of birth control you have; 1 medication means that 1 type of the pill shouldn't really be taken and if it were it should be taken approx 3 times a day; if you're on that then a doctor would need to prescribe it that way and as your friend may not be then it could mean that the whole prescription is wrong.
By doing this you are potentially really putting yourself at danger (as well as it's not going to be great for your friend having to lie and things and it going on her medical record that she's on something that she's not) so I STRONGLY advise that you don't and go and sort it out yourself.
