A member asked:

I have unknowingly been using expired topical aczone (2 months past expiration date). is this okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes,this is ok.: Drugs are designed to be effective well past their expiration date, in most cases. I would get a fresh prescription,though,just to be sure.
