A member asked:

Expiry date on nystatin cream, oral suspension & tablets is october 2017 ~ not opened & have been stored correctly. are they safe to use now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe: Expiration dates on medications are there to determine the effectiveness of the medication - after a certain point, the chemicals may start to break down, making the drug less effective. However, these medications are still safe to take - they are not going to be harmful to you, they just may be less effective.
