Usually, an expiration date indicates that the product is no longer as potent. It may not work as well. Some things may be capable of going bad though. But tylenol, neosporen, eye drops, cold meds- those just won't work as well. They become less effective over time.
How long can you take generic cold head congestion medicine after the expiration date?
It is best to destroy all expired medicines and get a new supply, rather than use them after the expiration dates. Depending on the exact type of medication and the active ingredients, you might not get full benefit of the drug, and/or after a certain length of time, some ingredients in some medicines can go bad. You might speak to the pharmacist at your drug store and ask about a specific medicine and the expiration dates you have, but I would not take them after the expiration date without first checking with a pharmacist.
