Answer #1

lol once I took some travel sickness tablets..they were 5 years ova the expiary date..I was fine but I would not recommend anyone taking expierd tablets..x

Answer #2

if they are not sealed…then toss them…usually vitamins loose potency and nutrition…same as medication…when your Advil or Tylenol goes past expiration..toss it..doesn’t have the same affect as a brand new bottle would

but I tend to not take medication…I rely on multivitamins and herbs to keep me healthy…usually works since I only get sick about once a year

Answer #3

If there still sealed there probably still ok to take for a while it depends what they are really if not then deffintly not. Some vitimins that are sealed can last years after there expiration date as long as they remain sealed.

I take over 10 differnt vit pills a day lol.
