Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 24 year old female. I am taking medicines for migraine (Sumatriptan). My tablets have expired. Can I take them? Would they still be effective?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
When a medication says it is expired, it is not safe to take the drug. Its effectiveness will not be as desired.
The properties and the actions of the drug will be reduced. So, you must avoid taking your expired medications.
