A member asked:
Does hydrocortisone valerate cream really ever expire?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cream expiration: I tell my patients that creams expire when they don't work anymore. I think expiry dates are more for stock rotation than anything else. However, if you have an acute problem, you are better off with new medicines.
