no. a person is either a steroid responder or they are not. they will either have high pressurePressure ulcer from steroids or they wont. it makes no difference if it is "expired" or not.
then about ECONOPRED PLUS-it had steroid, some might be more sensitive to that, and it will caused or increase PRESSURE to your eye.
expired steroids are NOT more likely to cause increased pressure.
the only reasons meds expire is b/c the drug companies cant guarantee their sterility/potency past the expiration date. THATS IT. an expired drug is just no longer guaranteed to be sterile and may not work as well. it has nothing to do with "being more sensitive" or whatever.
