Can i take amoxicillin 6 months after it has expired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: It is not advisable to take expired medications (some maybe poisonous) expired Amoxicillin may not take care of the infection and may hurt you by creating a more resistant bacteria. Please see your doctor for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment ( antibiotic choice, dose, therapy duration).Take care of yourself.
