It depends on the manufacturer and the batch number of the product. If your packaging does not have batch number and expiry date then contact your pharmacy who dispensed it to you for that information.
If there is any uncertainty as to its expiry it is best to discard the medicine.
It depends on the formulation you take I mean cream, tablets, eye drop. Shelf life is different for these forms
I am on tablets & I wasnt using my brains(LOL) to read the expiration date on the bottle... thanks anyway, appreciate your answer!
