Usually the cough syrup is still good, but the effect of the medicine might be reduced. If you are referring to being sick and finding an old bottle of medicine that is a little expired, then you can try it, nothing bad will happen to you, just might not help you. Your best bet is to buy a new bottle.
Hope you feel better!

Most medications are still good up to a year after the listed expiration date.

i replace into staring at "The docs" at present, and that they mentioned that the only element that happens while drugs expires is they're no longer as efficient as they might have been before. It shouldn't make you ill, yet i would not proceed taking it (as i'm specific you already comprehend). basically circulate get a sparkling bottle interior the morning.

It will not be as effective and it may not taste good since most have alcohol in them etc.
