The pill package says that it expires September '08!. Is it still effective or is it practically no good!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You should ask your doctor but I've heard that they are effective for at least 6 months past their expiration date!. An expiration date is not a magical date that somehow makes pills completely ineffective, but it may be the beginning of when they won't be 100% what they were when they were first manufactured!. Of course, you don't want to take any chances with your birth control so ask an expert!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Get a new prescription!. Not worth messing around with expiration dates on birth control!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's effective until next month!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
