you'll have to call a pharmacist and ask... some meds just lose some of their potency but others chemically change and can become poisonous. a 30 second call to your pharmacist and he can tell you for sure.

Generally all medications have expiry dates written on them, and are good upto 3 months after that date is over. Beyond that some medications lose their medicinal quality while others become bad, they may do more harm than good if still taken.

If it is expired you should not take it. It probably won't cause you any direct harm (its not like getting food poisoning from bad chicken or something) but it will be less effective and that could be a bad thing.

i would say a year. after that they start to lose a little of their strengh. i;ve taken my meds a year later and they were as strong as when i got them. as long as you have the same problem ;that they were precribded go ahead... the med company like to make the cash so they would say no;buy more.

not really. If a medication is expired, you should throw it away and get a new one.
