Diflucan expired?

Diflucan (fluconazole) does have an expiration date. After the printed date, the manufacturer can’t guarantee the medicine’s potency or safety, so it’s generally not recommended to take it past expiration.

What you can do:
- If you have an expired bottle, do not use it. Dispose of it properly.
- For disposal: keep the bottle out of reach, remove any personal info, and use a drug take-back program if available. If no program, you can mix the pills with something like coffee grounds or cat litter in a sealed bag and then throw it in the trash. Do not flush medications unless the disposal instructions explicitly say to.
- If you still have an infection or need treatment, contact a pharmacist or doctor for a current prescription.
- If you accidentally took an expired dose or you have any side effects, contact a healthcare professional.

If you want, tell me the exact expiration date on your bottle and whether you have the capsule form or the oral suspension, and I can give more specific guidance.
