Well not at end of January yet so you have time to ask. Speak to your pharmacist who will be able to advise.

Don’t use any medication past it’s date and also they have a shelf life after first use so check that, if you are relying on your blue inhaler and using a lot get a review appointment as you should have no need to use.

just use it if if works. If it doesn't you need a new one. It won't do you any harm. I have them dotted about the place and some are quite old, but in an emergency, they are fine. Will probably get blasted for this, but it's what I think.
