Eryko 250 Expire Date

i have a packet of eryko 250 tablets that expired close to 9mounts ago. I need to know if they are still any good to take or harmful in anyway? I read some where that some pills can still work well beyond their expire date. Even years later. How true is this for eryko 250

Based on my research, certain drugs are actually okay to take many years after their expiration date, whereas others such as, specific types of antibiotics (namely tetracycline) can become toxic.

Normally I'd still consider taking something if it's been less than a year old, but because ERYKO-250 is an antibiotic (and I don't know if it can become toxic) I would encourage you to get a new script from your doctor or have it lab tested for quality, before relying on it for a serious infection.

Even if it weren't toxic at this stage, taking a standard dose of an antibiotic that's not nearly as potent, may not effectively wipe out an infection and could actually cause the development of drug resistant bacteria. So I think in either case it's wise to just play it safe when it comes to antibiotics.

I hope this advice helps!
