Use open medicine bottle after an year

2025-02-23 07:02:05
I have common baby medicines purchased last year or old, which have expiry remaining like Stothrex, Paracetamol, ondesetton, montair lc, omnacortic, atrax, zn20 etc. So question is,,, Once bottle is opened an year or six months ago, can we use the same now if expiry is still due 5-6 months or one year?

Consider new fresh medicine bottles. The shelf life of medical syrups after opening bottles is nearly 3-6 months provided stored in a cool place and as per recommendations specified on bottles.
