A member asked:

I have albuterol liquid for the nebulizer but it is expired for about a 1yr or 2 is it safe to use still?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Even though the label shows expired it is possible that the medicine may still be good espicially if you kept it closed tight in cool environment. If it looks discolored, smells, or tastes bad, discard.
