Q:

What is the shelf life of birth control pills? I purchased some last summer, thinking that I would stock up. I ended up not taking them right away and now I'm reading the packages and they have a date of 06/10 on them. Does that mean they expire in June? Will they still be effective after this date? Would you recommend continuing to take them until certain point after this date? I'm taking the pill Aviane. Thank you!

 

A:

They will be fine to use through the end of the year.
