Okay to take expired Tylenol sinus ?

Question

got a travel pack of Tylenol sever allergy sinus pills at a gas station, and they expired 08/08 are they still gonna help or did they lose their potency?

Answer 1

They are fine. If the expiration date was 08/07 I'd throw them out

Answer 2

you have until the end of this month before they expire. EVEN IF YOU WHERE TO TAKE THEN A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE THAT WOULD BE FINE .

Answer 3

It's definitely OK to take them--you're still within the month. Several doctors have told me that most drugs can even be taken several months after their expiration date. Keep in mind drug companies want to cover their back and write the expiration date almost a year before the drug goes "bad"--many times bad means less potent, not exactly dangerous (although some--not tylenol--do become toxic over time).  

Answer 4

If your medication has been kept clean and dry it should be fine.  Drug companies MUST put expiration dates on their products.  There have been studies regarding expiration dates and most drugs continue to be fine long after their time has past!   Google it!

Take your Tylenol and don't worry about it.

Answer 5

they are good until the 31st...after that dont use them anymore...

usually when medication has an expiration date of 9/10 or 8/08 its the LAST day of that month when you wanna use it buy....
