Question

Does dramamine still work after the expiration date??

Answer 1

That will depend on how long after the expiration date and where the medicine was kept.  If it's a couple of days or a week old, yes, it's probably ok.  If, however, you kept it in a medicine cabinet above your bathroom sink or anywhere the shower steam could have gotten to it, the medicine may have lost its effectiveness soon after you purchased it.

Dramamine, or the generic equivalent, isn't expensive and is available otc at Wal-Mart and other typical stores.  You may just be better off to toss the contents of this bottle in the toilet and purchase more, just to be on the safe side.

If you're comfortable talking with your local pharmacist (one of the benefits of sticking to one pharmacy for all your purchases), give him or her a call and ask.

Answer 2

Most likely. As long as its not like 5 years expired. You should be fine
