Acetaminophen w/Codeine is a prescription I've had for awhile and I just now noticed that it expired back in 12/19/06. If I take this for my killer headache will it help or hurt me?
Answer:
Expired meds may not work as well, but it probably won't hurt you. Next time, keep unused meds in the freezer to keep them from losing their potency.
sometimes it wont work, sometimes i will have negative effects on you
Expired meds sometimes decrease and/or increase in effectiveness. Medical pros say pitch all meds after the expiration date.
A nurse I know says medicine is good for up to 6 months after the expiration date. If you use it after that, it loses its effectiveness.
