Expired medication: Typically, when a medication expires, it's because it loses its potency or effectiveness.  There are some medications that, with time, do breakdown with time into harmful substances.  Check with your pharmacist to make sure.  I would not recommend taking any expired medication.

what if i took two allegra (fexofenadine)?

Accepted Answer

Avoid doing this: Allegra (fexofenadine) is sold in both 60 mg doses taken twice a day, and a 180 mg dose taken once a day.  There is not good data on taking twice the dose at one time.  Avoid doing it.  If your allergy symptoms are not controlled with the fda recommended dosing, see an allergist.  There are certain situations when i prescribe other dosing.
