Is diflucan effective a year after its expiration date? It expired in November 2015. It is December 2016 now. Thanks!

Since it is over a year expired, it has most likely lost some efficacy, according to the NIH, so it would be best to dispose of it and obtain a new supply, if you need to use it.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
