I have found that expiration dates are flexible to some extent. Why don't you call the pharmacist and ask if it would be dangerous to take it if it's expired. I SERIOUSLY doubt it.
The main issue is probably whether or not it would be effective.

Nurse from PCP called back and they were thinking of Levaquin but, I had to be sure the doc was aware that hubby on Ketek! LLMD rx'd that one and he hasn't been to PCP since!!
Now, waiting on another call back!! LOL

JUST trying to not pay for more meds!!!
Thanks again, Sherry

Minocyclin, I believe, is in the tetracline family and from what I have read, taking expired products in this family are potentially dangerous to the kidneys and can damage them severely. If I were you, I WOULDN'T TAKE THEM. Don't put your body at risk.
