Can I Take Bactrim That Expired Over A Year Ago

bactrim that expired 2years ago

What happens when you take expired bactrim that is 2 years old ## Hello, Rosy! How are you? This medication does not become toxic, once expired, but it does start to lose effectiveness, so it may not effectively eliminate the bacteria, which creates the possibility of your developing antibiotic resistance. Thus, if you think you have an infection that requires an antibiotic, it would be best to see your doctor for a new prescription. This medication may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is septra. Safe. If its been. Expired. For 2 years
