A member asked:

My daughter is in need of a zyrtec at the moment, however the zyrtec expired in 2016. can she still take one and will it be effective?

Your choice: Many medications remain safe to take for some time after the expiration date, but often are not as effective, especially if stored at high temperature, in a humid environment or if the container has been opened frequently. The manufacturers guarantee the efficacy until the expiration date but do not publish data beyond that.
