A member asked:

My birth control expires in 2 months. after it expires, is it okay to finish my last 3 packs or will it stop working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should be fine: The U.S. Has very very stringent regulations about medications and their expiration dates, but the effectiveness drops by a percent or less in that time. It doesn't magically stop working on the day it expires.
