It expired 8/29/2018, so... Not too far off. I think I'm fine. About a month ago, I took Ritalin that expired in April 2018 and was fine.


I'm just going to go through my PRN meds and toss the old ones so that this never happens again. I'm a huge idiot.


Meds are fine farrrrrr past the expiration date. As long as they are not crumbly or discolored they are ok

I have Valium that’s probably over a year past date and it’s perfectly good and works the same.

Big Pharma WANTS people to think meds expire will just cause people to toss it and get a new prescription.

Your old meds are just fine
