Is a plan b one step pill that expired 7 months ago still effective?

Plan B: Plan B is intended to be used during a very short time frame. Get a Plan B that has not expired to be safe.

Probably: Most drugs are effective well past their expiration date, some never actually become ineffective. The FDA requires manufacturers to select expiration dates, but in many cases drugs last much longer or even forever. Its better to have in-date drugs to be sure, but it will almost certainly work as well.
