Should I continue taking my expired pump or stop? My heart also struggles a lot with taking this medication.

Question

I cough very hollow and it is really painful, my bronchial tubes hurt all the time when I breathe. It burns...I feel my asthma is strong. I am taking an expired bronchodilator, having been unable to see a doctor for a new prescription. My condition has not improved in 6 days. It says "non-renewable" on the label, so I didn't think that was possible! I will contact him, thanks!

Good morning, ma'am, It is not recommended to use a medication that has passed its expiration date. Have you contacted your pharmacist to see if your prescription can be extended until your next follow-up with your doctor? We'd love to! If it is non-renewable, your pharmacist will still be able to provide you with options to relieve your symptoms. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
