Brief Answer:

unless date is visible, best to assume that it has passed

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The expiration date is normally printed on the box or packet but if it is not clearly visible then you would need to assume that it has likely passed. After 2 years the date for safe use has likely gone.

If you can see the expiration date, this would let you know definitely if the medication is still good or not.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
