A member asked:
My prescription expired in march 2014 and i did not take it because the infection went away on its own. can i still use the metronidazole?

Better to be safe: Expired meds may not be effective and thus may mislead the diagnosis. I would be safe and ask your doctor if he or she can re-prescribe if that is indeed the correct med for you.
