Is it ok to take aspirin outdated?
Ok so i have some aspirin that was dated may 2012, so its a year out-dated. I'm just wondering if its still safe to take? I mean medicine tends to last years especially tablet form so they we're probably produced in like 2007/8?

Expiration dates for aspirin are calculated for very non-ideal conditions storage, so if it was in good storage conditions (not freezing, not hot, not humid, etc), then it should still have a lot of it's potency.
That is not the case for all medication, and especially not for liquid form needs.

It is really injurious to health. So, I would suggest to your good self not to take out dated aspirin. Thank You.

It won't hurt you, but it might not be as effective as it originally was. In general, it's not a good idea to use expired medication. Cheers.
