Can i take pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) that expired in april and is open
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I guess you could: but I would avoid it. I'm of the opinion that suspensions should be discarded by the expiration date. I'm ok with expired tablets by several months however as a rule of thumb, if you don't have to take expired medications--don't.
