Can Trimix Injection Be Used After Its Expiration Date?

Age 62, height 5 10 weight 165 very good health. My question is: I have trimix solution for my ED that I inject. When I ordered it from the pharmacy the expiration date was only 40 days from the date of shipping. I have not ordered more and it expired one month ago. I red that if I use it that it may not be as potent and may need to use a bit more but what I want to know is if it is dangerous to use the trimix after it expires or the only downfall is that it is not as potent. Thank you

Hi,

Expiry date is mainly relevant to potency of that drug which we are assuming, so after expiry date, its potency is decreased and possibility of side effect is increased somewhat. So better to avoid use of expired drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
