Lmd No if you have had them from 2014 it is very unlikely that they would be any good now best to have your doctor phone in another Rx. to be safe. unless these are the ones in the foil and it has a longer date on them make sure you check for the truly expired dater on the box or the packets.

I thought the expired date on the foil packet was Mar 2018... but once I got my magnifying glass I saw it was Mar 2016... :( so it is expired... so I understand they may not work because they are old... but will it hurt to try? In other words is there any danger to taking it after expiration? Thanks again...

lmd; with those, the worst would be they would be weaker but you don't know how much so don't ever double the dose or anything. But always check this is not always true with all medication so can hurt you as they break down. But this one will be fine. And if it does not work call and get a new prescription phoned in.
