A member asked:
My alka seltzer (original) expired a few months ago, is it safe to take it or get a new box?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The "use by" date on such meds indicates the last time the med would be expected to be at full strength. It does not mean it goes toxic and will hurt you. If you decide to use it and it still does what it needs, I will consider use okay. Otherwise. it might be like taking sawdust if it were too far out of date..
