Hi Carol! Most medications are safe to use even after the expiration date. Sometimes for years. Some may lose their potency after awhile.

@Carol,

If you've been keeping it under what's considered to be "proper storage conditions" (i.e. - not leaving it under intense heat sources for extended periods of time, and storing it in a cool dark place), studies show that many medications can last for even up to 10 or 15 years beyond the expiration date while maintaining potency.

I haven't seen the specific list of medications involved in these particular studies, but given the details above, it sounds like your ibuprofen should still be near it's prime.

I hope this helps!

Hi I would like to know my husband was on prexium 4mg 1 a day for a year until his blood pressure rocketed sky high he went back to his GP complaining of severe chest pains and the left side of his body ECG and x ray test came out that he has an over grown heart the hospital said there's nothing they can do then he went back to his GP wich recommed you increase your prexium to 8mg in the morning and gulf amplodine 5mg at night and ridaq 12,5mg in the morning his been using it for about 8months now. Now the main problem is his left hand and both feet are swelling slowly and it pains severely and also severe pains on the left side of his chest. In previous visits to his GP he was told its just a muscle pain and only gives him painkillers. Desperately seeking the proper advise ASAP before something bad happens. Need extreme help plz. Thanx
