Hello, thank you for your question!

It is not recommended to give him a product that is past its expiration date

I invite you to bring the expired product back to the pharmacy and to evaluate the possibility of obtaining a replacement if a prescription is on file

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
