Hello, I have a 1 year old clindamycin phosphate gel tube that I am considering using. My acne is acting up and I would like to know if it will still be effective if I use the gel one year later? Please advise. ## Hello, Melissa! How are you? It does not become dangerous, once expired, but it can start to lose effectiveness, so it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, peeling, and dryness. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have clindamycin hcl from 2008. Is it safe to take? ## According to MicroLabs USA, a manufacturer of generic medicine, their Clindamycin tablets have an expected shelf life of 48 months (or 4 years).? [3] However, when it comes to Clindamycin Phosphate, one source I found (Yashoda Hospitals - based in the UK) states that the expiration date of topical Clindamycin gel is only 60 days. [2] Additionally, other forms of topical Clindamycin (such as Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel) have a similar shelf life of 3 months, according to DailyMed. [3] That said, the form it comes in does play an important role in the drug's expected shelf life, efficacy and safety profile after so much time has passed. Hope this helps! ## I have clindamycin 150mg kept in the refrigerator from 3/4/2009....
