Not recommended: It's probably safe to use, depending on how old it is--however, if the medication is expired, i would recommend getting a new nose spray.

Less effective: Don't recommend as the product will become less effective after expiration date.

Yes: All medications have an expiration date. Typically 12 months but check to make sure. An albuterol inhaler does have a two year expiration date and other medications might vary. Check the bottle.
