Answers:
I would say it will be just a bit weaker in strength at the worst!. It can't change in chemical structure or be harmfull if that's what you are worried about!.2 1/2 months is a very short period of time though, and I would say that the effectiveness level change, if any, would be very minute!. It it were over 5 months over the date, I would discard it, as you have no idea how much of the effectiveness rate is left!.

It will be fine!. Manufactures are required to place an expiration date on all medication(s)--including over-the-counter as well as prescription!.

If you said it was 2 1/2 years ago, then I would have recommend that you throw it away!. It is still fine!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's probably not as effective, but it should still help a bit!. It's not good to take medication after the expiration date!. If you are experiencing weird side effects, I suggest calling your doctor!. If not, check the expiration date before taking anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most meds are 95% effective 3 years past their dates!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that is the sell by date and if anything it would just be less potent!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it will not be as effective!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
