It is best not to take expired medication. The medication does expire and will not work properly if taken after the date of expiration. ( If it works at all. ) Your best bet is to go to a local drug sore and get you a new package that satisfies you and be sure to check the expiration date.
Hope this helped. (:
Medication must be at least 90% effective at its expiration date and cannot degrade forming any harmful compounds. Also many meds are stable beyond the standard 2 year exp. date, its just not worth the expense for a company to continue testing it.
So generally an expired med should not hurt you, it just may not work.
You should consult your Dr, but most will say never take expired medicine.
hi, Norflox good but take suggestion to physician .
If you opened the original container, and if it is not expired, then yes it is safe to take.
i wouldn't advise it
No. That means it expired. NEVER EVER TAKE MEDICINE WITH A PAST DATE. That's medicine might be bad.
Yes it is ! Expired medicine could have lost some of its potency, which would mean you wouldn't get the proper dose - but - more importantly, some of the ingredients could have reacted to form harmful chemicals. Always return expired medication to your pharmacist for safe disposal.
Generally taking expired medicine of any kind is not recommended. Is it likely to be dangerous, no, theres a chance the potency has decreased, but it should not be dangerous.
You need to get it checked by a docter, because why would they put an expiration date if it was okay to take always?
No, a person should never take Keflex if it is expired by two years. Medicine loses its potency after the expiration date.
These are questions that you should ask your doctor, as self-treatment can cause adverse side effects. You should also see your doctor to find out what exactly is causing your diarrhea.
