A member asked:
Will ativan (lorazepam) have still have some effectiveness that expired back in july a year ago? i got a prescription back in 2014 and it expired last year.

Expiration dates: indicate when a batch of a medication can no longer be sold or distributed. The medication itself likely remains effective for more than two years. Take only as directed by your prescription/prescriber. Best regards for relief.
