Expiration date of 07/2013 for Amlodipine Besylate: Is it still reasonable to use now in 3/2017 or is its usefulness too degraded?

A medication expiration date is required by the FDA to ensure that any given medication retains its full efficacy level for that length of time, under average storage conditions.... to translate that, it means after being dispensed in a normal pharmacy bottle and being exposed to the elements that cause degradation, such as heat, light, and moisture. After that time period the medication may begin to lose efficacy.

If your pharmacy has given you a medication that has expired, you can contact the FDA by calling 1-888-463-6332 and your state pharmacy board.

Is there anything else I can help with?

The listed expiration date for my amlodipine tablet is 4/18. Does it mean before or after April 2018 that this tablet should not be taken?

Does the FDA have a department that is concerned about pharmaceuticals that are being sold with expiration dates that have expired?
