If this is the nebulized aerosol and the outer foil package has been opened, it probably isn't "unsafe" but it also isn't going to be effective, either. Exposure to temperatures outside the listed acceptable range, exposure to light and age affect all drugs. If you are talking about the metered dose inhaler form of albuterol then, if it has been kept within the acceptable temperature range and is less than one year past its expiration date, it should be every bit as effective. Because albuterol is considered a "rescue" medication, don't even gamble with it- make sure you get your prescription refilled and use the older meds only as a last resort.
