There is no way to be sure. Although the active ingredient is very slow to break down, each manufacturer adds different quantities of other compounds to keep it potent. Most retail brands will maintain some effectiveness for months past the discard date.

But it is always the best policy not to use expired medicines because you cannot reliably expect them to work.
