What Is The Shelf Life Of Aspirin?
Hi, my large bottle of baby aspirin shows it s one year after expiration. I ve read that the reality is that these expiration dates are not realistic and the pills are probably still quite effective. I hate to throw out the whole bottle. What say thee? Thanks. Jonathan

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, once the medicine expired means it is expired, it is the chemical molecules and it has it own life span till then it remains effective or active after that period it becomes ineffective, it the wrong information you have given that the medicine remains effective even after it expired it is not true, hope this information helps.
