A member asked:
How long can you use stool softener after the date on the bottle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Expiration dates: It is best to honor the expiration dates of medications to ensure safety and efficacy. If you have to use any over the counter medication for more than a short period of time, you should discuss this with your doctor to make sure it's the right treatment for you.
