Do birth control pills expire?
As a general rule, expiration dates printed on medications are "conservative". Thus, it is likely the medication will still work after the expiration date.

Yes, Birth control pills expire. It usually takes a year or so to expire and it should state this on the package. ChaCha!

About Birth Control Pills
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, or the release of an egg into the ovaries. Birth control pills contain hormones -- estrogen, progestin or both -- which prevent the egg from being released before menstruation. If no egg is released, a sperm cannot join with it. Hense, pregnancy is prevented. There are many different pills, so consult with your doctor to choose one that is right for you.
