Albuterol inhalation aerosol can be used after expiration date?

In: Health, Medication and Drugs [Edit categories]

Answer:

IS the question really CAN you use it or Should you use it? Yopu can after all do anything you want.
But NO you should not use Albuterol inhalation aerosol cans bast their expiration date.
We are talking about a drug here, on which extensive testing has been performed before it can ever be allowed onto the market. And Companies spend a lot of time and money testing expiration periods, to make sure that the drug does what it is suppose to, this product is only guaranteed to work up to the expiration date.
Trust me if it was shown to work longer then companies would assign a longer period, after all it would make their product more appealing to the buyer.
