Hi,
Dexolac special care generally has an expiry of one year. It does not mean that it causes some harm after expiry date, but the ingredients start to loose their efficacy after this date. A prepared formula can be effectively stored in fridge for about 24 hours. An opened can of Dexolac special care must be used within 3 weeks of its opening.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
