If he has no more back pain, he can use the pills for any other pains.

If a friend is also experiencing back pain, he can give his pills to them.

If his back pain flares up in a few days, he can still take the pills.

If the back pain gets worse, he can take more pills than were prescribed.

None of the above. The most appropriate action for Alan to take concerning these pills is to properly dispose of them. Unused prescription medication should not be shared with others, saved for future use, or taken without the guidance of a medical professional. Alan should either return the pills to a pharmacy for proper disposal or follow FDA guidelines for safe disposal at home.
