Hi,
One should not use any drug leave aside HumilinR beyond expiry date. Extreme pain in the right lower abdomen could be due to Acute Appendicitis or Acute salpingo-oophoritis (in case of female). You need to start drug before its expiry date.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
