Is It A Bad Idea To Use The Cilest If Its 2 Months Out Of Date?
Hi, I'm going on holiday tomorrow and don't haven time to go to the doctors. It's my second year on the implant and I've for the last 6months ive had very long periods. i want my period to go away (im now on the 12th day of this period) as there is strain on my relationahip with my boyfriend and the holiday will just be us two.
I have cilest left over as previous contraception (exp 05 2013) that i could take on top of the implant to calm my bleeding. Is it a bad idea to use the cilest if its 2months out of date?

Yes, you should never take a medicine with an expired date. Instead, you can buy another from some other store or some other brand with same drugs. Also, haemostatics can also provide you relief from this bleeding.You should also take iron syrup/ tablets to build up the loss.
