What Causes Throat Irritation After Taking Expired Medicine?

I am 40 years old, good health. I sometimes take Coverta 25mg tablet (say, once every 4-5 months). Today I took a tablet without checking the expiry date. Within an hour of taking the tablet I got a sort of irritation in my throat and while gargling with warm water, I vomitted. But the irritation in the throat is still there with no other known complcations. On checking the tablet I found that it had expired 1 year ago. Is it a matter of worry??? Pl advice???

hello

thank you for trusting HCM

dear nothing to worry there are no side effects that come from taking expired Viagra, except for the side effects the drug itself may cause. There’s simply less of it to affect you, in fact, so those side effects may be milder. you may developed pharyngitis or reflux etc.. please consult with your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

take care
