A member asked:

Can i still take b12 supplement injections if they are expired?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Check w/ pharmacist: How expired are the injections? What is the solution they are in? Sometimes products are ok to use after the expiration date for a short time but less potent.

Agree with Dr. R: Also check to see if you need injectable B12. Oral or sublingual preparation may suffice.
