Only the manufacturer of the BCP you are taking knows for sure how much time (if any) past the expiration date the pill will be as effective as they are before the expiration date.
I would say that it depends upon how old/expired and what condition they have been kept in. All medications tend to gradually lose potency over time. Open containers, high heat or high humidity can hasten the process.

There is an expiration date for a reason-you are not trying to get rid of a headache-go to the store and get some birth control-GEEZ!

whilst it is composed of delivery administration is it properly easily worth the possibility employing expired pills? i could say no! employing them is your decision as i'm confident you nevertheless have pills on your device yet each persons physique isn't an identical. Expiration dates are for a reason! you won't use old chicken or milk so employing expired delivery administration pills ought to never be an decision! in case you do you will get the end results of employing old pills in 9 months! i could seek for advice from the prescribing scientific expert before doing something.

No. It might last a month past, but not seven years.
