A member asked:

I recently came across a expired benadryl tablet. it expired last month. is it worth the risk to take it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NoRiskButDontRecomme: If expiry date is last month there should be no risk if you take it in my opinion.Having said that I am not allowed to recommend that due to legal reasons.So go buy new ones
