Is it ok to use a laxative suppository after its expiration date?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncertain: In general, it is recommended that medications not be used after expiration date. With that said, there is a big difference between being expired for 5 days versus 5 years. Your pharmacist should be able to provide more information.
