want to take a expired pill?!
Question: Want to take a expired pill?
My husband is a lab technician and due to some mild discomfort we discovered i have bv ( bacteria vaginosis) anyway i have some metronidazole pills that exp. 11/11 but is it still safe to take them and will it still be effective. This pill is commonly prescribed to treat bv. So should i take them?
Answers:
Yeah Its fine especially just 3-4 months ago, they give lenience to the Exp date and an antibiotic that has been expired for even a year still works it's just lost some effectiveness.

The expiration date is month month/ year year Not expired yet. November is still 8 months away. They're still good.
11/11 isn't expired yet
It is safe to take them. Expired meds are shipped to third world countries with expired dates up to 3 years past.
