Question: My birth control is marked to expire next month, is it still effective!?
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
