Yes medical research has shown that Zantac (Ranitidine) is still effective up to 1.5 years after expiration date. After that it begins to lose some of its potency. Like canned food with expiration dates as long as the package is sealed and properly stored it lasts well beyond the expiration date.
It is not recommended that you take a medication after it's expiration date. Therefore nutrofurantoin-macro will not still be effective for treating an UTI after the expiration date.
I just realized mine was a year past the expiration date, they still seem to be effective.

About 6 months after the date.
The expiration or best-use-by dates are for unopened packages.
It is best not to use any drug after its expiration date. Expiration dates are meant to reflect the stable shelf life of a medication. After this point, it may not be effective, or worse, it may contain harmful breakdown products.
Medication should not be used after the expiration date printed on the label. After the expiration medicine can lose its potency which can be very dangerous.
It's not, once a drug hits the expiration date it should be discarded -
Enoxaparin isn't something you want to fool around with - if it's expired, get a new injection because it won't work effectively. That's what expired means.
The expiration date is there so you know an approximate date when it should not be used. Three days before an expiration wouldn't do harm, a day or two after expiration might not do harm either, but avoid using vaccines (or any medications) that are after their expiration date.
Medicine should never be taken after the expiration date. The bottle the medicine came in should have the expiration date printed on the label. As drugs age, they become less effective, and if the pills have been stored in a cool, dark, dry place they may last longer. But, eighteen months is really a long time, even at that, so you should toss them.
Hi, Unlikely. Pills pass there expiration date can not be used because they usually lose there effectiveness.
