npub18ljjwuh8vt0lrh3fe3vsefddt40u297gtsk3d4v4ywhjnvms9zfqy480hq (npub18lj…80hq) A number of white papers have been published lately showing that expiration dates on many prescription drugs are inventory control rather than actual efficacy.
UFC-Que Choisir just did one (on otc meds) where they showed ingredients from drugs manufactured in the early 90s were still at 100% efficacy.
That said, I have not found anything published specifically about birth control...which, given the state of research into women's care, isn't surprising. However, there isn't anything in any of the compounds that would become *dangerous* after expiration, they *may* be less effective. And *may* is a key word.
I never expected that GenX would be the only generation that had full control of our own bodies from menses to menopause.
The 70s were so hopeful! We got Roe, we got the right to have our own bank accounts, the ERA was on the road to passage...I had no idea how angry that made men and how hard they would punish us for the audacity of autonomy.
