A member asked:
I stopped taking birth control mini pill 2 months i wanna go back to take them they have been sitting in my closet for 2 months are they still effective are they still safe to take ?

These pills often sit on some pharmacy shelves for months before they are dispensed. Most will have a use by date somewhere on the pack. If these were stored in an environmentally friendly way (not let get too hot), they should be as effective as if they were used as originally prescribed.
