Does Expired Cream Wont Work Properly?

I have been using a tube of thrush cream just over a week now with only slight improvement in symptoms. I have just realised this cream went out of date 3 months ago. Does the fact that it's expired mean it won't work properly? Could this be why i haven't seen much improvement? I'm a 23 year old male. Thanks

Each medicine comes with a predetermined shelf life,beyond which its efficacy will not be guarantied.If you have got the correct prescription,it is better to try a fresh one.
Thank you.
