Docs: Do malaria pills go bad?

Headed to Africa for a few months and just realized my Malarone is expired by about 5 months. I normally don’t take them but a coworker just caught it so I figure I’ll stop being a dumbass and take my pills. How accurate are these expiration dates?

You're probably good to go.
Getting new pills and being safe is overrated.

It's just malaria, you'll be fine.

I tend to agree but I figured I’d come here to listen to the experts.

Just take three of them, it's a win-win situation.

I took Atovaquone-Proguanil & highly recommend it. Super convenient

Where are you going?
I worked for 7 years in EG and Cameroon. I did not take my malaria pills like I should have. I had some wicked dreams on the pills i was taking so I just kept them in my bag.

I melt mine in a spoon and shoot it up my pee pee hole and I’m fine and don’t have malaria

I'm a doctor....of pharmacy. Go for it. I hear malaria isn't that bad.

dry pill form medicines never go bad, they just tell you that so they can sell you more of it.
i "think" liquid bottle form or liquid gel capsule form medicines can go bad over time though

You should probably make sure you have good pills. You don't wanna let them snuff the Rooster.

I personally think you should just chance it.

They should be fine.

Gin and tonic is never a bad idea.
