A member asked:
I have yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) birth control that i was prescribed in 2014 on the box it says it expires "01/19" so these pills are good for 3 more years?

That's what it means: Drug makers are required to provide a date up to when the medication can be assured to retain its potency. The longevity of a med varies with the type and method of production, but that is what the date means.
