HELP! exp date & birth control! ( am i screwed?)?

Question

My birth control pack says 08/08.

Am I okay to finish this pack or am I totally screwed now?

I need professional opnions, if you don't know, dont make up some bullshit please!

Answer 1

well first you dont have to be rude i mean you are asking this question in a pregnancy section and most of us are not "professionals" so if you want a professional ask your DOCTOR.............and as long as the month as not passed i think its ok but again not a "professional"

Answer 2

They are still in date until the end of this month, as an answerer already said, it is still 08/08!

Answer 3

If it says 08/08, it means that you have to use it by the END of this month, and no later. Once you finish it within this month  you'll be fine :)

Answer 4

Your fine to go ahead and take them.  

Answer 5

It seems like you should be okay to finish the pack.  It's still August 08, which is what 08/08 is!  

Answer 6

I'm also a certified pharmacy tech.  It shouldn't be a problem at all to finish your pack, but if I were you, I'd talk to your pharmacist.  Our pharmacy would NEVER give a patient something that would expire the same month.  That's just not good practice.  Don't freak out because there's no problem, but I'd just bring it to the attention of the pharmacist next time if I were you.  We would never give a patient a dose-unit package for medication that expires the same month...just not good business!

Answer 7

It will fine. I'm a pharmacy tech and most medications last a short period of time past their expiration date. So, no worries. Just continue to take them.
