A member asked:
Would it be ok to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) that expired in 11/09?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Taking medication that expired almost 5 years ago is probably not a good idea. It may be safe, but I don't know for sure. If we were in the Zombie apocalypse and you had no other choice I would say go for it. But since generic diphenhydramine is cheap, why don't you make a trip to your local store and buy some new.
