Expiration Date Of Antiviral Cream
UpdatedCan I use the antiviral cream the lab made up for me for shingles on the corner of my mouth still? This was iin May. I still have half a container of the cream. The expiration date is 6/23/13. It worked really fast last time i broke out. Thank you!

Hello, Sandra! How are you doing?
No, the cream should really be disposed of and you should contact your doctor for a new prescription.
Creams, liquids, ointments and the like tend to degrade very fast and not only can they lose efficacy, but they can also go rancid. Thus, it's just not a good idea to use one that's expired.
Is there anything else I can help with?
