Drug expiration dates: What you need to know
in Health ·
Greetings.
I've been dealing with a persistent cold and some congestion lately, so I dug through my medicine cabinet and found over half a box of Pfizer that I’ve used in the past. The expiration date printed on the packaging says 01/10... I am wondering if that implies it remains effective through the end of January, or how exactly that works?
Is it safe for me to take this, or should I just head out and buy a fresh pack?
Thanks.
