All expired medicines Q&A

I took an expired Long drive capsule. Will it cause any side effects?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for your query. Do not worry. Pharmacy companies put the expiry date one to two month earlier than the actual expiry date.

I had Mylanta that was expired. Will it cause any problem?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. First of all Mylanta (combination of Magnesium hydroxide, Aluminium hydroxide and Simethicone) is not prescribed for indigestion.
