Hi, i have been taking the medication Singulair....(Please read more)?

Question

so i have been taking the medication singulair for indoor and outdoor allergies

so on the bottle, it says expiration 5/11/08 and and i took a tablet a little bit after that date

my mom called the company and they said it was fine, it expires 6 months after the date

and of coarse, i was parranoid

so i searched up taking expired medicine and it says this: On average, over the counter medications should be disposed of after six months and prescription medication should be disposed of after a year before they expire.

i am the perscription one

so i dont understand what it means

like does it fully expire on 5/11/09 or what?

please help

i will add more details if nessccary

thanks!!!!

i will give best answer!!!!

=)

Answer 1

It expired on May 11th. The expiration date simply means the earliest possible date the effects of the medication will diminish. Even if it was a year old, chances are that absolutely nothing would happen to you. Chill out.
