How long can you use albuterol past the expiration date? my inhaler is only a year old. does the medicine still work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: it isn't the issue of being expired, rather if there is still an active ingredient (the main medicine) in the inhaler? or it just sprays other inactive ingredients, then it won't work. You can still try what you have, it won't harm you, may work with you, but better call your doctor for a new one, good luck
