When does it expire ? As long as the bottles are not opened and stored as recommended,I would hold on to them. I've taken here recently, not this medication but, a different one that was two years expired and it worked great for my medical ,condition. My bottle was never opened before, I started using it.


I think, maybe in some cases depending on how old the medication is, it may lose some of the effectiveness but, not all and I would think it would have to be older than a couple of years or so.kwim?

Also you can talk to a pharmacist to see if the medicine is good for a certain time after the expiration date.

ttyl c.c.

p.s.
If you decide to get rid of your medications, flush them down the toilet, that's the safest way.
