how long will medication usually last before it expires?

I have an allergy medication from about 18 months, it doesn't have an expiration date. How could I find out if it's still good?

If you can't find an expiration date and you know you just didn't buy it, pitch it. While most medication has a shelf life of a year or better don't take the risk.

Usually says dissreguard on "One yr from purchase" whatever that date may be.

meds deteriorate with exposure to the elements (air). If they are 18 months old, toss them.
