[|Human|] I am thinking of taking microgynon again. I have a packet that was prescribed in 2012 and still has the expiry date of 05/2016. One of the pills has slightly been exposed to air but not fallen out as they have been in a cool, dry, dark place. Are they still ok and effective to take? My first day of my period begins tomorrow/Tuesday. Also, is it safe to drink herbal teas such as peppermint, lemon and ginger, lemon and honey, chamomile, fennel? What impact does taking any laxative medicine have on the pill? Kind regards
[|AI|]  Hallow Dear, If the pills have not crossed expiration date, they are safe for consumption. However, please do not consume the pill that was exposed to air. Discard the pill. Take only the pills whose pack is not tampered. If more than 3 pills are in such tampered packet, please discard the whole packet and take a fresh pack. You can take herbal tea with the pills without any untoward effect. I hope this clarifies your doubts.
