A member asked:
Can you tell me if it's okay to use eye drops expiration date march 16 month/year or?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not legally no: Expiration dates are on there for many reasons and most reasons are not necessarily for patient safety. Have patients used expired drops... Yes. Do most of them experience any harmful effects... Probably not. Do what you will with that information. Take care.
