macoduck Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Would Sentinel pills with an expiration date of 2/06 be safe to use? Even my vet has said most meds are OK one year past expiration, but I don't think these are.

Guest broncsrox Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Most medicine is not necessarily dangerous when taken past the expiration date. The problem is mostly they lose their potency and probably wouldn't work as well as you need it to if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tenderhearts Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 They lose their efficacy once the expiration date is up. That's a long time on those, and personally I wouldn't use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytlady94 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I wouldn't use them either, not worth taking the chance.

Jackandgrey Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 For the most part the problem is that no one knows the efficacy because the drug companies do not test past the stated expiration dates. They have to stop somewhere after all.

MarcR Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I wouldn't take the chance. Probably not harmful but no longer effective, either.
