is it ok to take pepto-bismal that expired 3 months ago? this is the first time it's been opened.?
Question:
Answers:
it should be okay... the expiration date is sometimes used as last date of sale. The FDA has stated that many drugs are still good months after the suggested date of expiration since it's a marketing strategy to get people to replace their over-the-counter products. This includes prescription drugs, btw.
They have to date medicine but I do not think anything in PeptoBismol deteriorates. Take if if you cannot find anything better. I am not a great admirer of it.
