YES: Any medication will lose effectiveness over time. This is why there are expiration dates. Certain medications like heart drugs or antivirals should not ever be used past the exp date because the drug may begin breaking down and produce byproduct chemical which can have side effects. Topicals (like Solareze) are less problematic. If you use an expired topical med, watch for rashes or irritation.
