I got propranolol (10MG) prescribed to me back in October of 2015 for test anxiety and stage fright. I have a presentation tomorrow and I found the bottle with 6 pills left in it. The expiration date on the bottle says 10/14/2016. Is it safe to take it? If so has the potency decreased?
Is it okay to take propranolol past the expiration date on the bottle?

masona7; Myself I would be confident that it is full potency they pad, these dates on most of these medications due to the fact if they came in a pulled a bottle on that date and it was not 100% there would be a lot of trouble running around but please get a fresh bottle prior to your next need.
