No, alot of drugs can last longer then there exp. date. Just rules and regulations require them to put a exp date on there. Also by seeing the exp. date, you will think that the pills are no more good, and go and buy some new ones. Giving the company more money. The only thing is that it might not be as potent as ones that haven't "expired"
