Within reason. The date should not be far off; the pills should be intact and not crumbling. For a definitive answer, check with the pharmacist.

It depends on the drug and the age. Generally, any drugs containing aspirin can breakdown over time and make you sick.

Most opiates last a long time if kept in proper containers and environmental conditions (cool or room temperature, dark or original containers). Although I've since moved on to much stronger opiates (Fentanyl, Percocet) I still have Vicodin from the days prior to using the drugs I use now. My last Vicodin prescription was 10 years ago. Since they're no where near as strong as the stuff I use now, I don't use them, but for those of us who had problems with insurance companies and other problems that could lead to an interruption in prescription fills, having an old standby is better than the alternative. The drugs I take are Schedule II, meaning I cannot get refills - I have to get new prescriptions every month.

What is the difference between the white and green birth control pills?

The white pills are inactive hormones which is when you're off your period. And the green pills are active hormones and these you usually take when you are going through your period. But its still okay if you're not on you're period during the green pills cause the pills could make you a little bit late on you're period.
