A member asked:
My physician changed my birth control pills to lo loestrin fe and provided samples. i noticed the samples expired june 2016. should i take them?

Contact MD: You need to contact the MD who gave you the pills. so that his/her advice is provided. In general, most recently expired medications are still very effective if they have been kept in a cool dry place for storage. However, at age 47, an unintended pregnancy would be problematic for most women, so again, check with your MD first.
