Updated

I have some Ed-a-hist 4-10mg tablets that expired on 5/29/15, are they still safe for me to take and will they still be helpful to me?

Hi Perky,

I can't speak for this drug specifically, but when it comes to expiration dates in general, one rule of thumb is that the listed expiration date is more of a ball-park figure rather than a precise date by which it essentially renders unsafe/ineffective (aside from tetracycline). Studies from Harvard Medical School as well as The LA Times point out that many medications are actually still good for up to 10-40 years after the listed expiration date. So I will say that if it were me in this position, I personally wouldn't mind taking something that's only been "expired" for less than a year. I'd just encourage you to research and review those claims for more information. But on the other hand, if you want to make sure that your medication is always at its peak performance, there's probably no better option than renewing your prescription.
