Can you use lactaid tablets that have gone past expiration date?

Expiration dates are set by manufacturers to ensure the potency, safety, and quality of their products. After the expiration date, there is no guarantee that the tablets will be effective or safe to consume.

The active ingredient in lactaid tablets is lactase, an enzyme that helps break down the lactose in milk and other dairy products. Over time, lactase can break down and become less effective, which means that the tablets may not work as well as they should.

Additionally, the tablet's other ingredients may also degrade over time, which could potentially cause allergic reactions or other adverse side effects.

For these reasons, it is best to discard lactaid tablets that have gone past their expiration date.
