Is Levofloxacin good after 5 yrs? What is the shelf life?
Re: Dan (# 2)
I also have levofloxacin tablets that are 4 years old, 6 tabs have salivary duct infection. Can I take this?
Medications do lost efficacy over time, so they may not work well enough to full eradicate an infection, according to NIH reports. Thus, it would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription, if you need an antibiotic. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.
Is there anything else I can help with?
