Answers: I'm at work and thats all I have...

Yes, it expires at the end of the month, and there's a little bit of leeway built into that date anyway. I hope you feel better soon.

Yes, that date is not THAT exact.

yes.

Yes, you can take it. There should be no problems.

If it were a year or longer past the expiration date, it may not be as potent. But for it just nearing it, you should be okay.

You can take it years from now. Those pills don't really expire, they just put a date on there so that people throw away perfectly good pills and go buy new ones. I've taken pills that were several years old and they still worked just fine with no side effects or anything else.

Most medications are good well past the expiration date.
Some medications start losing their efficacy after the expiration date; some quickly, some very slooooowly.
I wouldn't use any meds that are over a year out of date, or any out-of-date antibiotics.
The Chinese have an old tradition of throwing away any unused meds on the first day of the year. I think it is a great idea.

I worked in a doctors office for two years. We got tons of samples and the doctor would send it home with us at the expiration but said it was good for another four months.

Of coures you can get it in your body now !

Yes. And you are Foxy Miss Roxy

Sure you can. Hope ya feel better...

that's just the recommended date that they get the drugs off the shelf, you will be fine...

Yes go head and take one.
