Out of date fucidin h cream - would you use?

[Generallyok]

Dd has broken out with impetigo around mouth. I have some fucidin h from previous infection but just noticed it experienced in March. Will it harm to use until I can speak to GP tomorrow?

Put it on her...if anything the anti biotic ability will be lessened but it won't have turned to poison!

I've done it, it worked

No harm, all it means as can't guarantee active ingredient will be at same strength

Use it. I've used it a year out if date (it's amazing on spots....)

It won't hurt her at all, it just might not work as well as a new one would.

Use it, definitely. I had a tube going for, ahem, quite a long time, and still worked fine on eczema, impetigo etc.

Thanks so much all- I have now zapped spot. I love mumsnet
