The FDA requires the expiration dates to be set where the active ingredient of the med has decayed to 95% of the original amount of drug. In most cases, it is ok to take expired medication; but there are some medications that decay into harmful byproducts which should be discarded (loratadine is not one of them). I usually throw out my meds if they have expired over one year ago. Bottom line ... you just won't be recieving that insignificant amount of lossed active ingredient. Hope this helps.

Yes it is still good, the only things that really expire are Anitbiotics because they have bacteria growing on them so with time they will lose effectivness, I saw this on the news last year CNN or something. Expiration dates on Pharmecueticals is just a scam so that you will through them away and have to buy new medicine again.

I worked in a pharmacy a few years back and the pharmacist there told me it's perfectly o.k. to take drugs that are as much as one month past the expiry date. He said to be on the safe side, chuck anything that's more than one month past the expiry date since it might not be safe to take. Some drugs lose their effectiveness while others can actually harm you if they are too old. But up to one month past the expiry date is fine.

well it should be fine unless its a anti-biotic it shouldnt be a problem if i am not mistaken it is for acid reflux/heartburn and no it will be fine to use for another 2-4 months no prblem thats just a way to make money (putting an exp. date on it) but it is reccomedned not to take it cant hurt i dont think i take 10 meds a day and i stockpile certain ones and i use the oldest first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
