A member asked:

After using final dose of monistat 3, i realized it expired nov 2016. still effective or should i repeat treatment? if repeat, how long do i wait?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptoms gone ?: If you have no further symptoms (I presume you used this for a vaginal yeast infection), probably no need for further treatment. Drug expiration dates are not very reliable and are very arbitrary.
