Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  Yes you need to check the expiry date of the syringe.  Usuwlly syringes and other such things have a long expiry so i do not think you will come across a expired syringe. But lets suppose you do inject using a expired syringe, nothing will happen as long as its not been used or the packet isn't been tampered. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
