Can you use expired Seroquel?

Bottom Line
Should patients use expired medications or not? It's always best to use medications that are NOT expired; it's just the safest route.

If a medication is essential for a chronic and potentially life-threatening disease, for example, a heart condition, cancer treatment, seizure, or life-threatening allergy, get a new prescription before it expires and keep up with refills as needed. If you take an expired medication and you notice the drug has little or no effect, the medication should be replaced immediately.

These drugs may potentially pose serious problems if they're expired:

a biologic product
insulin
a refrigerated liquid or other medicine
eye drops
injectable medicine
a specially compounded medication
any drug that looks like it is degraded or cloudy, or has a noxious smell, should be discarded and replaced immediately; do NOT use.
