Hi everyone,

I haven't been on here for ages as I feel I've been coping well...but today a spanner has been thrown into the works.

I have come back from the chemist with medicine for my painful tooth. It's powder form which the chemist mixed with water to activate. It's high dosage and contains penicillin. (hoping I'm not allergic too). I took the first dose and afterwards realised that it went out of date in Oct 2012. PANIC.

My mum immediately phased the chemist and asked is it dangerous/when can I get a replacement.. The chemist said it is safe within 3 months past it's use by date. Still worried though.

Now I'm worried that I migh be s* as a side effect from taking out of date meds. My mum said it was only dry power form originally so will be safe.

Any help greatly appreciated.
