What happens if I take expired Dolo?

Expired medicines should not be taken, as their effectiveness can reduce over time and they may not work as intended. In some cases, expired products can also become unsafe due to changes in their chemical composition, especially if they were not stored properly. To avoid health risks and ensure proper treatment, always use medicines within their expiry date. If you accidentally take an expired medicine, consult a doctor promptly, even if you feel fine, to rule out any possible complications.
