A member asked:
I gave my 3 year old expired acetaminophen. it was a brand new bottle ...but it is expired by 18 months. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: The purpose of expiration dates are to limit the period for which the manufacturer is responsible for quality and effectiveness. There is no evidence that using medicine past the expiration is harmful.
