Question
this is gonna be very siil but i got a prescription for cafergot tabs for my migraines. they expired in oct. of 2005 am i able to still take them?

Answer
Hi DeVonne,
Your prescription for Cafergot may be still usable. Check with the drugstore where you purchased it for the expiry date of their current stock. If is reater than 2 years than yours is probably still ok to use.
Thank you for using Allexperts
