I have Voltaren 75 mg pills that are several years old. Are they still safe to take
Hello, Phyllis! How are you?
It doesn't get dangerous after it expires, but it will likely no longer be effective. Liquids, gels, creams and ointments tend to degrade much faster than solid forms of medications. It would actually be best to just dispose of it and see your doctor for a new prescription.
Voltaren gel is a topical NSAID that's used to treat pain and swelling. Side effects to topical use are usually limited to skin reddening and irritation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
