My LoR's do not have dates and it is difficult for me to get back to my medical school in my home country to get them again.Can I send them?
Will they lose credibility?

I would advice to get them dated. I had the same problem and I got all of them dated few weeks ago. LOR without date will certainly loose its Authenticity.
