I used two times Imitrex expired from about 1 year.
IT function at the same way of not expired (although imitrex slow down the attack about 30 % with me)
I asked my cousin (that's aa doctor) about expired medicines. He said that the 90% of these may cause only an effect....... no more effects)
Not the same for injections of adrenaline (terrible if expired) and don't know if Imitrex injections are the same.
BTW in italy a case of 4 imtrex pills costs 45$, but now (only from 1 month....sigh) the State cover all the cost (excluding 1$) YooHoo.....
You have to know that.. in Italy only few (5%) people has private insurances, and doesn't cover the medicines. We have (and we pay about 500$ per year) a State insurance, terrible, not efficient, and partial.....
