Title: Meds past expiry date?
Post by Tim_T on Dec 8^th, 2005, 4:57pm

Just found some old meds(imitrex spays and 2 injections) expiry Dec. 04........Are they still usuable???? 2 months into BAD episode.....and could really use them.

Yes, the injections are still good. My own neuro actually gave me some expired trex injection samples herself. It works just the same. I'm not sure about the NS though, maybe someone else can answer that.

take care,
mel

Ditto. They might lose some effectiveness over time, but never become toxic or harmful.
