Oh, it's probably fine.  It just might not be as strong as it once was.  I don't think anything bad will happen though.

(m)\n\nExpired medicines often don't work as well, and they can even be harmful. To make sure that you don't accidentally take an out-of-date medication, you should clean out your medicine cabinet every year, throwing away: \n\nAny medication that has changed color or formed a residue,\n \nAspirin or acetaminophen that is crumbly or smells strange,\n \nHydrogen peroxide that no longer bubbles when applied as a disinfectant, and \n\nEye drops that have expired.

I work for an eye dr. & know for a fact that it is illegal for a physician to release a CL RX that is expired.  Here's a little secret though.  Make an appointment and ask for a trial pair to get you by until your appointment and then when the appt. comes up--cancel it!  People do that all the time, but sooner or later you will have to see the dr. in order to keep getting CL's--Good Luck!

If you are looking at this response then you should see under your question on this page a link that says extend expiration.  Click it.

it depends on the drug, and the state in which you try to fill it.\n\nIt is probably for what is called a 'legend' drug, in which case it is good for one year from when it was written......in Utah which is where I live. Call your pharmacy, they can tell you the answer in 5 seconds.

Technically you shouldn't - they say medicines can alter over time, some lose potency - some get stronger, some go bad.  However, it depends on the condition - I for instance had a urinary tract infection and used left over antibiotics to help  get rid of it.  People do it - but as an EMT - I should be telling you not to.

It will be detectable for approximately 6 months after the last intake. As for the effects themselves, the direct ones should pass after a week. The more lasting effects (such as memory problems) caused by long-term usage should disappear within a couple of months.

Medicine manufacturers specify the expiry date with some purpose, based on some clinical trials conducted with the medicine. \n\nFirstly the medicine both Pills and preparations will start loosing their effectiveness and it may not act for the purpose you are taking.\n\nSecondly, most of the medicine are made with chemical base and some properties turn to be toxic or poisionouos even and it may be harmful after these dates. It may be harmful to take it and will have adverse effect.\n\nSo it very essential to consume the medicines before expiry date and you need not consult anyone about taking it after the expiry dates. Just you have to throw them-.

It really depends.  For most drugs, the expiration date is not the actual "expiration" date, that is, the drug loses its potentcy/kills you, but the date you should discard it while you remember.  As a matter of fact, most of the expired drugs, sometimes for years, are being donated by medical corporations to third world countries and a great majority of them are still effective.  HOWEVER, this does not encourage you to take  expired medicine.  Depending on the drug you are having, it could be deadly.  So to answer your question, don't try expired medicine unless you are in Africa (Yes, I know it sounds messed up).

Most likely it hasn't been long enough for the potency to go down much. With all medications be aware that there is the chance that it will if you take it after the expiration date. After a full year has gone by they are no longer deemed safe to take because the chemical content can change while it has been sitting around, especially if it was stored improperly. In that case it can be sometimes harmful for the user. In the case of your dramamine specifically you are 85% likely that it will be as effective as you need it to be. Just wanted you to be aware of the risk.

It usually takes 72 hours however I dont no if taking that much will prolong it in your system. try drinking alot of water and wait a few days before taking anymore.

You should probably call your doctor, but the literature on it says you can take up to 3 tablets a day. you are lucky your migaine only lasts 24 hours. I get some that last for weeks on end.

There isn't one. If you're using it online, make sure you input both the VALID FROM and EXPIRES dates, and you'll be fine.

I didn't know that stuff expired.\n\nMaybe it won't be as effective, but I doubt it's dangerous.

interesting! Zenical in UK and Xenical in US, anyways, health journals do not suggest products like this since most of these things quit working despite continued use at 6-12 months, healthy diet, regular exercise, caloric count and gradual caloric reduction will eventually offer longer lasting help, good luck

Usually doesn't matter if they've gone beyond the expiration by a little bit - if they have been kept in a cool dry place.\n\nSome meds could cause harm if they're real old, and others could lose some of their potency.  \n\nThe dates the pharmacy puts on pills is usually 1 year after the day you get them.  The bottle that they got them from might say they don't expire till 2010.  Ask pharmacist next time what the bottle he's getting them from says.
