There is usually an expiry date printed somewhere on the pack. Otherwise I don't know.

Don't know, but your local pharmacist might be able to help you (when I wasn't sure about the liquid chlorphenamine I had, I asked my lovely local pharmacist and he checked the dates of all the stuff he had on the shelf).

Just back from hospital as I got new tablets with no effect her eyelids where starting to swell. Dr thinks she might have Polymorphic light eruptions he has given her strong antihistamines and hydro-cortisone cream and is to stay out of the sun completely. I have also bought sunshades for the car never thought I'd have to buy them for a 15 year old
