i bought a pack of tamiflu from ukmedix which arrived the next day.
The expiry date i think read 2008 but i dont have it in front of me to verify that but anyway i would like to know - does it matter???
I dont get why medication should change simply because the expiry date has passed? ITs hardly like food that passes its expiry date - this is a sealed non-perishable entity.
anways, was just curious.
chrissie, chester x

Its all to do with humidity which breaks down the ingredients so it doesnt work as effectively,
some meds even last years whilst others can be as short as a few months, hope that a help, inceidentally have you heard of relenza?
