Is it true that expired medicine still have a 3 months allowance from the expiration date?
The potency of the medication is guaranteed up until the expiration date. It's like when you have milk and you keep it even after the date. Usually it isn't good anymore. If the original packaging of the medication shows the expiration date, that's date you should go by to make sure you're getting the real deal. However, if you get something filled at the pharmacy, look at the prescription label. By default, the medication is listed as expiring a year after the prescription is filled, but the actual stock bottle it came from might actually show that the medication doesn't expire for another few years.
