If i took birth control that was 7 yrs past expiration date would it work?



Answer:
Only the manufacturer of the BCP you are taking knows for sure how much time (if any) past the expiration date the pill will be as effective as they are before the expiration date.

I would say that it depends upon how old/expired and what condition they have been kept in. All medications tend to gradually lose potency over time. Open containers, high heat or high humidity can hasten the process.
i HIGHLY doubt it. a few day or a month passed but YEARS? Do you actually have stuff lying around your house for YEARS?

Don't take the risk, this is birth control!
I wouldn't take the chance. There is a risk.
There is an expiration date for a reason-you are not trying to get rid of a headache-go to the store and get some birth control-GEEZ!
I don't think so they have expiration dates for a reason the active ingredient probably doesn't work I think it's time for a new Rx
no you got a chance of getting pragnet if there expiered
just go to the drugstore and buy a new one.you might not have problems from taking an expired drugs but it definitely wont work!
i doubt it..i definitely wouldnt rely on it...
WHY in the world would you think it would work after SEVEN years?!?!?!?

There are expiration dates for a reason.

Of course it wouldn't work.
No. It might last a month past, but not seven years.
