My one year old kid was injected expired Metronidazole Injection IP I.V injection what will be the side effect

Metronidazole injection IP for IV Use expired on Jan 2006 was injected mistakenly by hospital staff twice in a day.

I think you should ask the hospital who injected him this question.

oh, god! sounds like they need to get their a*sses sued off for malpractice!

a drug just looses it's potency.. they should give you that FREE for the FUGUP though

Drugs are normally considered still effective after a year of their expiration date. That way, mistakes like that are not so bad. The only side effects he may get would be the ones that normally come with the med.

It could either not have the expected effect or it could cause an adverse reaction. If there is not reaction after 24 hours of medication, it is not likely to occur.
