The MOST appropriate action for Alan to take concerning the leftover pills is none of the options provided.

However, based on the provided choices, a more appropriate answer would be to dispose of the pills properly if he no longer needs them or consult a healthcare professional if he has any concerns. It's important not to use the pills for any other pains, give them to friends, take them without consulting a doctor if symptoms return, or exceed the prescribed dosage.
