Q. Is an expired I-pill effective?
Hi doctor,
I took I-pill four days back, but after taking it, I noticed that it had already expired three months ago. Is there anything serious? Will the I-pill be ineffective?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Since the pill was expired, it is likely to fail and not be able to prevent a pregnancy.
- Side effects as such are not expected. However, please do a pregnancy test and check if periods get delayed.

|Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply. It is only 18 hours since I took the expired I-pill. So, how to prevent pregnancy now? Please help.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You can take another dose of I-pill, but be prepared for abnormal bleeding in the next period.
