Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this expired drug that you have found. It is no longer safe to take this drug. I will recommend that you refrain from taking it. I will suggest you talk to your doctor to get a new prescription for your pulled muscle. For now, take Tylenol and Ibuprofen for relief at doses recommended by your pharmacist. The results have often been great.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
