A member asked:
If i have a xanax prescription that has an expiration date of april 2018, is it truly bad at this point or still safe to take half a pill for anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still safe: This is my personal opinion, (but also the opinion of every doctor or pharmacist I have asked) the medication is still safe since it is only 2 months past the arbitrary expiration date. Assuming the pill still looks like it did originally (it's not crumbling or changing colors). Studies done on meds that are just beyond their expiration reveal they may be a little less potent but are still safe.
