Question : Have taken some Somac 40mg but just realised the pack expired in XXXXXXX 2014. Is it still safe to take?
Brief Answer:
No worries
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns.
You recently took Somac which had an expiration date of XXXXXXX 2014. That means has been expired for the last year. When medications are listed as expired that means that their potency is not as good. There is no danger in taking the medication it just will not work as well as expected. I recommend that you purchase a new supply so you can get full benefit from the medication.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns or questions
