Expiry dates on Dermovate

[Janis]

Is it safe to use Dermovate after it’s expiry date please? I know this might sound a no-brainer but I’ve had confusing advice. Thanks

The advice is always to use cream or ointment that has not expired. This is because the product may "go off" after that date and may not be as effective. However, it is likely not to be harmful if you have used a steroid cream or ointment that is out of date.
