In april 2017 it came with expiration July 2017. Valid only for 2 months. i think it is not Ok for 3 pack ?

it's not ok! you should write the seller, expiration should be at least one year.

i see that in 2013 the product had a 2014 expiry - is this really the expiry date or is it now more current?

To be safe I would check with the mfg, 2014 was 2 years ago, I would not consume the product if not sure, be safe and purchase another.

Expiration date on what came is July, 2017; only 6 months ! Is this normal, or did they ship me some very old stock ? Thanks for help on this.

Normally expiration dates (or what is commonly known as Best Use Date) is estimated and very conservative allowing a window (or safety cushion) of 6 months, after which time the product is useless (or dangerous) depending on which type of product. 6 months expiration is normally good for total of 12 months. The Contact that you are referring to does not have many capsules, and as such, will be probably consumed in 1-2 cold attacks

Is this the same kind of contac pills that I used to buy back in the 1960's and 1970's?

Hi Richard D. I would assume it's the same because I like you, have been taking Contac as far back as I can remember as well. I achieve the same results from way back when, it's the packaging that has changed.
