Expired Listerine mouthwash
Okay so I just notice that I have been using expired Listerine mouthwash. The mouthwash expired in 7/2009. So it is really old. I have been using it for the last two week. Should I be worried? I do not feel sick and it did not taste different but a little worried about it being so old and using it.

No worries it will not hurt you. I would not continue to use it however. Buy a new bottle of mouthwash. Do not get the very big bottle even though they are a better value if you do not use enough to be done by the expiration the small bottle would be of better use to you.

I guessing you do not really use your mouthwash anyway if it is that old. You will not get sick or anything since you do not swallow mouthwash anyway. Just buy a new bottle of mouthwash for the future.

You probably did the same thing I did. I got the really big bottle of mouthwash since it is cheaper that way. However since it is just me using it I never use it all before the expiration date.
I use it after the date and had no problems with it. Five months is a little long but I really do not think you have anything to worry about.
Just bye a new one. This time get the smaller bottle in the end they are better since you will use it all before the expiration date.
