Is It Safe To Take Multiple Expired Loestrine 24 Fe?
I have some expired Loestrine 24 Fe from about a year ago and I ve heard it s okay to take multiple BC pills as an emergency contraceptive, but since they are expired is it safe to take it them as an emergency contraceptive now or will they be less effective or useless?
