Will out of date antihistamine tablets still work ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Medications that have passed the expiration may still work, but the pharmaceutical manufacturer cannot guarantee their effectiveness. The longer the medication is out of date, the more likely they are less effective.
