Is expired saline solution okay to use? I%26#039;ve got a big bottle of medical grade saline solution (left over from when a former roommate needed to irrigate post surgery incisions). It expired three months ago. Should I assume that it%26#039;s gone %26quot;bad%26quot; and I shouldn%26#039;t use it? Someone suggested that I use it dab onto my kittens weepy eye.

if your talking about sodium chloride for irrigation, then yea its fine. We wouldn%26#039;t use it in the hospital but for your cat itll be fine. The main reason there is an expiration date is because it ideally should be sterile for irrigation. I wouldn%26#039;t guarantee the sterility after the expiration date but saline doesn%26#039;t expire that easily so it should be fine. im an er physician 100% 1 Vote
