If it's expired I wouldn't be taking any chances.

Really you should be asking a doctor or pharmacist that question. Although I can pretty much guarantee they will tell you if it's out of date it's ineffective. They are not going to let themselves open to a case of "well xxx told me it was fine".

Hi eskerwalk3

Asking for or giving medical advice is against the Boards.ie terms of use - for very good reasons.
Better to contact your GP or ask your Pharmacist for professional advice.

All the best
