A member asked:
I am on marvelon birth control and i have a few packs which expire october 2013. can it be harmful if i take them and will they still be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: But nobody will tell you for sure. I personally feel that a lot of expiration dates are arbitrary and that the pills are effective for a little longer.
