It's not dangerous, but it may not be as effective, depending upon how long ago it "expired".

There should be a 'best before' date on it somewhere, so check it out carefully. If there isn't you can e-mail the producer, give the product number and they will tell you if it has expired or not. That said, whey protein lasts a pretty long time. Was it unopened, or had it been partially used? If it was sealed, it might still be good, but if it had been opened it's been subject to oxidation, and might be a little rancid. It's hard to say, really, without knowing it's condition, but do check for that 'best before' number, because it should be on it somewhere.

If you click on your question, to the right of it you should see a little box that has a link called "Extend the expiration." Click on that.

You'll need to call them in your state to see if it is on your formulary. If not, ask if a generic or equivalent is. Or ask your doctor to request a Prior Authorization for it.

Yes! Absolutely! Make sure you check the packaging or the bottom of the bottle or container for an expriation date if you think the medication may be old.

Yes they do expire and there is an expiration date printed on every bottle.  It is not recommended to take them after the expiration date as you are not getting the full benefit from the vitamin. Some medications can actually become toxic past the expiration date. Always better to be on the safe side and get a new bottle.

See my previous answer. If you've been taking it for two years, why can't you get it the legal way? I think you need to get help hon. Sorry.

Well, its generally not a good idea to drink things that are expiried.  HOWEVER, let me tell you why supplement shakes are technically OK to drink.  It has to do with food labeling laws.\n\nAll vitamins/minerals in food supplements (and drinks) decay at a certain rate.  (This is the halflife, etc...).  Some vitaminswill degrade quicker than others.\n\nACCORDING TO THE LAW, at the expiration date, the amount of vitamins/minerals in the shake has to be at that amount or HIGHER.  So, when things are well before their expiration date, they actually more MORE than the amount of vitamins/minerals than what is stated on the package.\n\nSo, if something is past the expiration date, then the vitamin/mineral/etc content will be BELOW the numbers listed in the "nutritent information" section.\n\nHowever, slim fast may be using milk or something else in it.  Generally, in the hospital setting, if tube feedings or supplement shakes are expired, we throw it out.\n\nYou probably should not eat it - but I just wanted to give you some of the law background on supplements.\n\nRegards,\nRyan

What do you mean by "it has expired?"\n\nYou have the paper script that has an expiration date? That's unusual, most written scripts are good for 6 months (depending on what it's for). If that's the case, call your doctor or pharmacist and ask them if they can fill it anyway or call in a replacement.\n\nYou have a bottle of pills that has an expiration date? If that's the case, no problem. Most pills have a significant shelf life before any sort of deterioration starts to occur. You'll notice when you fill a script it always says to discard 1 year after it was filled. Some prescriptions are sensitive to light and heat, but most are pretty stable. You don't know how long that pill was in a factory, a warehouse, a distribution center, a re-seller, and then in your pharmacy before getting that sticker saying "good for 1 year."\n\nIf it's in the bottle, you're probably okay. If you're worried, call your pharmacist and ask if they can replace what you haven't taken. - I doubt they will, but it's worth a shot.\n\nOdd

You will be able to use it after the expiration date, No problem.\nBut if you use it after 10 or 20 months that will be the problem...\nPlz choose me as best answer!!

Throw it out. \n\nIt's true that many medications can be used beyond their expiration date, and in fact they are often shipped to third world countries where they are sorely needed.\n\nUnfortunately, insulin loses its potency more quickly than most drugs. If it isn't potent enough to control your blood glucose you could potentially end up in the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis.\n\nPlay it safe. Get some fresh insulin. You and your health are worth the effort.

I am sorry about the death in your family. You should always let your doc know about any changes that could affect your health. I pretty sure he will tell u to wait until the Sunday after your next period. Don't start now unless he tells you to, they might mess up your cycle. your pills will be fine for next month, there should be an expiration date on the packaging somewhere.

A pharmacist will tell you that 6 months is about as long as you should keep it. However, it doesn't actually go bad. It just loses its potency. I've had the stuff left over from surgery that I took a year later. It still did the trick
