I think all drugs have a use by date, do you have the original packet?

I'd be wary - some drugs are not as effective if they're past the use by. Not an authority on this by any means, just repeating what a pharmacist friend said.

Speak to your pharmacist actually, they will be able to tell you.

have a look on the end of the foil strip. There is a batch number and an expiry date...or if you have the original box ,it will be on the end flap
