It is medical practice that medications that are expired not be used. However, in an emergency it is better to use an expired terbutaline sulphate inhaler than to do nothing.
The main objective of expiry dates is for drug companies to get you to dispose of stock and buy more allowing them to make more profit. However, the level of effectiveness of the medication may decline with time.
It is therefore advisable, despite the low risk of taking expired medications, to always abide by the expiry date.
