I'm in a bad uctd flare. how long dose prednisone last. i'm needing some but my pharmacey is closed. i found some a year old. is it still ok to take?

Likely: How were the pills stored? What is the expiration date? If the medication is still within the expiration date, it is okay to take it. If it past the expiry date, taking it will not do harm but it may not have full potency.
