gordonfamI just got laid off from my job, and cannot afford to go to the doctor plus get a prescription for my upper respitory infection. (No insurance either). Could I take these out of date antibiotics and will they be effective?
Thank you,
Jill

Those are too old to be effective, you could potentially create a infection that is even harder to get rid of. Get yourself a fresh supply. I have ordered antibiotics from vet catalogs and if you have a local farm and feed store you can get some antibiotics from them too. Don't believe the hype that animal antibiotics are different or impure, the manufacturers are all the same. More threats by the government to control the masses.
