Yes: Check the vial to see if the pharmacy listed an expiration date for the medication. If over the expiration date best not to use. Since it is prescription medication use as labelled by your Doctor.

Depends: Depends on state law and pharmacy discretion. But probably not, without their checking with the prescribing doctor.
