You are most likely not going to get sick from taking expired medication ... BUT ... you are not getting the full intended dose of the medication if the date has expired. Medications lose their potency over time and therefore lose their effectiveness in curing the ailment.
It depends how 'expired' it is... If it's just a few days or a week out of date, there's no harm in taking it. However - if it's well past its expiry date, the effectiveness of the medication may be reduced, and you won't get the full benefit.
It is reported to have a five year life under proper conditions but I would not take any drug once expired!
If you opened the original container, and if it is not expired, then yes it is safe to take.
No! I had this same question and called the pharmacy. They said that most medications are safe to take if they are expired, however, expired Lyrica is extremely dangerous.
You should consult your Dr, but most will say never take expired medicine.
No. If it was safe, then it wouldn't be expired.
You should not take any medications or dietary supplements that have expired.
no you will get very sick
Expired medicines should ALWAYS be thrown out. They are relatively inexpensive to replace and not worth the risk of taking an expired medication.
You can take anything you want any time....if it works or not depends on your state of mind....
non expired beef stock is not safe if not handled properly so you can imagine expired stock.
No It is never safe to take medication that has gone past its expiry date
No, hence the word expired. It is unsafe to eat anything expired. Dispose of anything expired.
